Change Lyrics - In The Hot Seat - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

A missed step by the river's edge 

A chosen word, but it took too long 

Your last chance is all he said 

You won't miss it, till it's gone 

A ghost in the distance 

Where the ocean meets the land 

A fallen angel in a trance 

A conversation you don't understand 

Change - everybody wants it 

Just a little hope and honesty 

Change - everybody needs it 

Open up our hearts so that we can see 

A young man with a blue beard 

Counting days that seem too long 

Can't wait, wait another minute 

For my fifteen minutes in the sun 

Gotta sweep this act I follow 

Dust off this passion play 

Believe in fate cast off this sorrow 

It's just a stone's throw away 

Change - everybody wants it 

Just a little hope and honesty 

Change - everybody needs it 

Open up our hearts so that we can see 

Some will think I'm crazy 

Some will think I'm strange 

I'm trying to satisfy this hunger 

Somebody stop this pain 

No signs of redemption 

Can't take the guilt they live 

Gonna live and die in this world 

Pushin' and pullin' 'till somethin' gives 

Change - everybody wants it 

Just a little hope and honesty 

Change - everybody needs it 

Open up our hearts so that we can see 

Change - everybody wants it 

Just a little hope and honesty 

Change - everybody needs it 

Open up our hearts so that we can see 

Visions of such temptation 

We can never take it to far 

That's the price of the true sensation 

To find out who we really are 

Keep digging, digging for answers 

Keep searchin' you can't give in 

Will we ever understand 

A truth we cannot comprehend 

Change - everybody wants it 

Just a little hope and honesty 

Change - everybody needs it 

Open up our hearts so that we can see 

A missed step by the rivers edge 

A chosen word but it took too long 

Your last chance is all he said 

You won't miss it 'till it's gone 

Change - everybody wants it 

Just a little hope and honesty 

Change - everybody needs it 

Open up our hearts so that we can see 

Change - everybody wants it 

Just a little hope and honesty 

Change - everybody needs it 

Open up our hearts so that we can see
