I love songs that have actual meaning. I've had this album for two years now and today is the first time I actually listened to this song. It's very me...
Change
by Anthony Stewart Head
If there ever was a moment in your life
When you turned to take a look at yourself
A long hard cold stare at the person you are
It doesn't matter what brought you here
To this point in time
It could have been your lover or your teacher or maybe just a good friend
But now is the moment, now is your chance
Now is the beginning of a new dance
It's all too easy to say, "I am who I am"
To allow yourself to
Shrug your shoulders and say, "Accept me, I accept myself"
Change
Embrace it - don't just turn and face the strain
Every threshold is surrounded by fear
As you step over it, it becomes resolution
Find the blocks that prevent you from achieving your goals
The personal patterns that you repeat again and again
Break the pattern, the karma
Crack it open and change
It's scary as hell, but let go of the rope
Let go of behavior that you think holds you up
Because it ties you down
It only holds you back
It's time to fly without the aid of a net
Parachutes are gone, that stopped you from falling
Scared of the freefall
That chaos is calling
And the changes don't finish
Just because you started
Allow yourself the lessons
There's room for heartache
Acknowledge the breakthroughs
But know there's always room for more
Don't stop yourself from being all you can be
To measure up to all he's expected to achieve
A man must do more than he is capable of
Man is what he believes
