I Can’t Stay The Same

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.

I had a plan

I had a past

I was always working fast

I knew the words, I knew myself

I didn’t need any help

I can’t, I can’t stay

I can’t stay the same

I can’t, I can’t stay

I can’t stay the same

It was gift to admit

It was a gift, when I was wrong

I knew it once, I felt it twice

Only myself, alone in a spotlight

My revolution wasn’t simple, but it was a quiet mind

A risk I take, I had to earn

Revelation is a long, slow line

I can’t, I can’t stay

I can’t stay the same

I can’t, I can’t stay

I can’t stay the same

I can’t, I can’t stay

I can’t stay the same

I can’t, I can’t stay

I can’t stay the same

Don’t you stop believing (don't you stop believing)

The healer is within

The cycles of the seasons

And we begin again

Don’t you stop believing (don't you stop believing)

The healer is within

The cycles of the seasons (the cycles of the seasons)

And we begin again, again, again
