Lyrics
Intro
*(8-bar horn riff)*
Verse 1
Clock keeps tickin’, but I’m stuck in the same lane
Promises I made to myself drownin’ in the rain
Dreams on the shelf collectin’ dust and shame
Time to flip the script, rewrite my name
Ain’t about the money, ain’t about the crown
It’s the man in the mirror gotta turn it around
Excuses in the rearview, burnin’ to the ground
Gotta rise from the ashes, make a brand-new sound
Chorus
We’re changin’, changin’, changin’!
*(Horns stab)*
Breakin’ old habits, no more fadin’!
Changin’, changin’, changin’!
*(Bass walks)*
Claimin’ my future, no more waitin’!
Verse 2
Voices in my head say I’ll never break free
But the fire in my soul won’t let it be
Took the weight of the world, turned it to a spark
Now I’m lightin’ up the path through the dark
Ain’t no more hidin’, ain’t no more lies
Truth in my heart, see it in my eyes
Every step I take is a brand-new fight
Gonna build my tomorrow, startin’ tonight
Chorus
We’re changin’, changin’, changin’!
*(Horns stab)*
Breakin’ old habits, no more fadin’!
Changin’, changin’, changin’!
*(Bass walks)*
Claimin’ my future, no more waitin’!
Instrumental
*(16 bars horn trade-off)*
Bridge
No more fear, no more doubt
Turn the pain inside out
Every scar is a story, every fall made me tough
Now I’m standin’ tall, I’ve had enough
Chorus
We’re changin’, changin’, changin’!
*(Horns double)*
Breakin’ old habits, no more fadin’!
Changin’, changin’, changin’!
*(Bass slaps)*
Claimin’ my future, no more waitin’!
Outro
*(Horn riff fade, final stab)*
