I walk the lonely streets
Where the buildings look down on me
My shadow’s casting doubt on all that I do
I’m worn out from crying, I’m so tired of fighting
In a world that’s so far from home
My heart is still beating
My mind is still dreaming
Of the better days to come

Chorus:
Going to leave it behind
No more tears, no more crying for me
Someday I’ll fly so far away
Run into your arms and meet your embrace
And I can’t wait until that day
When I’ll stand before you face to face

The things that are hollow
Don’t fill me anymore
Take all that I have because it’s already yours

And you take my life and you give me hope
That these days that I fear
Cannot change what I know
You give and You give,
You love and You love
You’ve taken my fears away


By Jacob McGinnis and Jason Burkham

Behind the Song:
“’Change’ is simple in explanation, but deep in meaning. A lousy day left me feeling out of place in this world. God reminded me that we have such a better home in store for us and that this world and all its fears and stresses are passing. One of the telling lines says, “These days that I fear, cannot change what I know.” God’s Word and his promises will not return void. No matter how I feel, I know God has a bigger plan for me.” - Jacob McGinnis (The Turning)
