This is not the life we knew
Not the world we knew before
When we held onto to a dream
And we made it everything

This is not the same old story
Bitter ends bring something new
And the skies would rearrange
Now everything is strange

But it's a change
We always hoped for
It takes us time
To see the truth

This is not the light we knew
All the many shades of blue
When we never could believe
Because we never wanted too

This is not the same language
We grew up with all the pain
All the words and all the feeling
That only left us reeling

It's a change
We always hoped for
That we fought for
The rainbow after storms

And I've never held before
But more and more
I believe
In you
As you believe in me
We have the love to make it be

Now everything is strange
And all this money only change
Falling out of pockets
Not enough to pick back up

Now everything is love
And no matter any distance
Any miles or kilometers
Or however you may judge it

It's a change
We always hoped for
The ability to grow
Into what we weren't before

This is not the life we knew
Let us change our point of view
So that even in the gutter
We're still reaching for the stars

And this life became so strange
That we understand the rain
It's a song we have to sing
Becoming everything

It's a change
We always hoped for
It's a light
In darkest night

And I've never held before
I've held for all my life
I believe
In you
As you believe in me
We have the love to make it be
