Glasvegas

Change


Mama, I feel so scared
For three years
Liberty and walking free
Was every night my fantasies

Mama, I feel so afraid
Swallow me up the open gates
As the unknown awaits
Cause I don't think I could ever ever change

I would change if I could
Change
I would change for you

Listen son, don't be scared. Please don't be afraid.
So let's earn each others love
And never until it's something unconditional
So come on son, bring back that smile again,
And be led not into temptation.
Dare to resist reoffending again
Coz son, truly, it's never too late to change
A change is sometimes good
But before you change for me,
Change for you.

Mama, my street as I remember is still the same
Wonder what the people round here say?
Son, only you can turn things the other way
I think my friends have all gave up on me
Untie your chains, reach out in apology
Then dance dance dance into the the future with me
Beware the fences the prison defences, and the lies they say
Inside these walls commitments involuntary
Only the lonely in this correctional facility's
Isn't it sad, isn't it a pity.

In the still of every night... I pray
For the damaged who'll be loved unwillingly
From in a place, no man truly ever walks away

Mum I'm so sorry for what I've put you through
I will change for you

Son, a change is sometimes good
But before you change for me...
Change for you.
