AOnce upon another timeF#m  
I witnessed a butterfly
Drying off his tinted wings
And heave himself into the sky
He said, “Today is my big goodbye.
You see I’m leavin’ my old-time cacoon behind.”
You know that what goes up falls down
And sooner or later we all come around
Like a boomerang…that never hits the ground
We go around and around and come back with what we found
AChange is coming, C#mit’s on my mindD  A  
AChange is coming, C#myou can’t rewindD  E  
DTime has a rhythm; history rhymesE  
Change is comingD, don’t get left behind E(resolve to rootA)
Recognize, we metamorphisize
And see the same world from very different eyes
From the tadpole swimming to the green frog hop hopping
Everythings’ changing and it’s all non-stoppin’
From the chick to the chicken, from the ocean to the kitchen
Be the fish or go fishin’, livin’ life like a mission
Subtracting by addition.  Multiply and divide
And remember: nothing’s constant but the ocean’s tide (I’m talkin’)
AChange is coming, C#mit’s on my mindD  A  
Change is coming, you can’t rewind
DTime has a rhythm; history rhymesE  
Change is cominDg, don’t get left behinEdA

Once upon another time

I witnessed a butterfly

Drying off his tinted wings

And heave himself into the sky

He said, “Today is my big goodbye.

You see I’m leavin’ my old-time cacoon behind.”

You know that what goes up falls down

And sooner or later we all come around

Like a boomerang…that never hits the ground

We go around and around and come back with what we found

A C#m D A

Change is coming, it’s on my mind

A C#m D E

Change is coming, you can’t rewind

Time has a rhythm; history rhymes

D E A

Change is coming, don’t get left behind (resolve to root)

Recognize, we metamorphisize

And see the same world from very different eyes

From the tadpole swimming to the green frog hop hopping

Everythings’ changing and it’s all non-stoppin’

From the chick to the chicken, from the ocean to the kitchen

Be the fish or go fishin’, livin’ life like a mission

Subtracting by addition. Multiply and divide

And remember: nothing’s constant but the ocean’s tide (I’m talkin’)

A C#m D A

Change is coming, it’s on my mind

Change is coming, you can’t rewind

D E

Time has a rhythm; history rhymes

D E A

Change is coming, don’t get left behind
