about

Several people in my life were going through a variety of major courageous life changes and this song was inspired by, and is dedicated to them. With a Lisa Simpson-y sax ending.

lyrics

Nature moves in many ways -
Subtle changes spanning generations
Or a shift in the wind.

A body dormant underground,
His world is right and absolutely earthbound
Until his wings come in.

You are life in motion, an ever-changing sky,
Ending and beginning at the same time.
You are transformation, always underway
A quantum leap from yesterday.

Children go beyond our dreams.
Our little men and women fly away, it seems,
All in the wink of an eye.

We readjust at every stage,
While young ones face the questions of their own age,
Both reckless & wise.

You are life in motion, an ever-changing sky,
Ending and beginning at the same time.
You are transformation, always underway
A quantum leap from yesterday.

If change is not the enemy,
But only a disguise for opportunity,
Would you still fight it?

And when good fortune comes your way,
Do you rejoice or mourn that she might leave one day?
Only you decide it.

You are life in motion, an ever-changing sky,
Ending and beginning at the same time.
You are transformation, always underway
A quantum leap from yesterday.
