Greg Harper Music - SOMETHING'S CHANGED

SOMETHING'S CHANGED

I was born in a green and pleasant land
Of rolling hills and golden sand
Where the tide of time washed so slowly by
There was time for each other time to laugh and cry

I grew up in a land so safe and free
Where people had fought to save our liberty
One parent at work and one at home for me
A warm place to sleep part of a family

But something's changed
Crap's now king
It's now the size of the diamond
Not the fit of the ring
And I wonder what the future might bring
When the future becomes just material things

We had neighbours with whom to play our games
The shops downtown all had different names
The fields were ablaze with dancin' butterflies
Long summer days spent under endless skies

But something's changed
Crap's now king
It's now the size of the diamond
Not the fit of the ring
And I wonder what the future might bring
When the future becomes just material things

Life's now so full of such important things
Seems we've forgotten the joy that being people brings
I hope someday that people will see
It's the being that matters not the matter that be
I said it's the being that matters not the matter that be

But something's changed
Crap's now king
It's still the size of the diamond
Not the fit of the ring
And I wonder what the future might bring
When the future becomes just material things
