Changes IV (The Old Grey Whistle Test, BBC TV, 5th October 1971) Songtext
von Cat Stevens

Don′t you feel a change a coming
From another side of time?
Breaking down the walls of silence
Lifting shadows from your mind

Placing back the missing mirrors
That before you couldn't find
Filling mysteries of emptiness
That yesterday left behind

And we all know it′s better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last

Yes we all know it′s better
Yesterday has past
Now let′s all start the living
For the one that's going to last


Don′t you feel the day is coming
That will stay and remain?
When your children see the answers
That you saw the same

When the clouds have all gone
There will be no more rain
And the beauty of all things
Is uncovered again

And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let′s all start the living
For the one that's going to last

Yes we all know it′s better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last

Don′t you feel the day is coming
And it won′t be too soon
When the people of the world
Can all live in one room?


When we shake off the ancient
Shake off the ancient chains of our tomb
We will all be born again
Of the eternal womb

And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let′s all start the living
For the one that's going to last

Yes we all know it′s better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that′s going to last

Let's all start livin', let′s all start livin′
Livin', livin′, livin'
For the one that′s going to last
