The World Changes (Waiting On You)

The World Changes (Waiting On You)
by Michael Doyle

There's no doubt about it,
Whether we whisper or shout it.
It's always so good to be home,
Even when we're there alone.

You share your love among fans and friends,
Quietly or loudly until the music ends.
You wonder if they'll still love you tomorrow,
Will it be warm and tender love, or sorrow?

On the road, we were searching for that feeling,
The one that kept our hearts and heads reeling.
But it is always good to be home,
Even when we are there alone.

We let it go, we set the music free,
Knowing that, at worst, we just came to disagree.
We looked in every direction,
Looking for anyone left standing to show us affection.

It's like we never left, then it's alright,
As we play hearts of darkness in the spotlight.
Paralyzed with the growing change of seasons,
Life and music have their love and reasons.

On the road, we were searching for that feeling,
The one that kept our hearts and heads reeling.
But it is always good to be home,
Even when we are there alone.

Doesn't it make you wonder with warm desire,
About the crazy ways, we set the world on fire?
Only you know, I suppose, that I could never know,
We still have a lot of broken love to show.

We sometimes took more than we gave,
Dancing proudly on music's sweet grave.
Sad and deep as you are, it's just another song.
The truth is, maybe we played it for far too long.

On the road, we were searching for that feeling,
The one that kept our hearts and heads reeling.
But it is always good to be home,
Even when we are there alone.
