Time For A Change
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time for a change:
I felt bad, things looked strange.
Home, home on the range...
Yes, it's time for a change.
"Well, young man, when you grow up
what do you want to be?"
"Please, sir, if that's alright
I'd really rather like to learn how to be me."
Switch on the light,
getting late, almost night.
A shilling puts you right,
you can switch off the night.
The world was looking stretched and tight,
it's an overblown balloon.
I've got the feeling something big
has got to happen soon.
Oh, time for a change,
out of reach, out of range.
Go and tell Doctor Strange
that it's time for a change.
