Changes

Everything changes
Assembles... arranges
New puzzle parts fitting
Like money exchanges

Just try to stand still
Just give it a try
The life that you're living
Will oft pass you by

The car that you're driving
Will rest in a heap
A scrap-man's desire
A thought you can't keep

The house you live in
Will raze to the ground
No way to stay there
Foundation unsound

The people you know
Will shrink and get old
Then suddenly gone
A shock to behold

New styles approaching
And new words to use
We don't even know yet
Don't look in the news

And all transformation
Will future take hold
Unstoppable sequence
All doomed to grow old

Just what is the new?
When days happen faster
Will living the now
Result in disaster?

Can fast enough be?
Catch up to the future
Only to pass it
By some strange a'ven'ture

Will hours and minutes
Lose all of their meaning?
A new type of time
May well be convening

The spin of the earth
May become too confining
And hours as units
Become undermining

Just think of it when
We traveled on horses
And ate very slowly
And spoke between courses

I can't help but wonder
Sit here and leer
The past is behind us
The future is here
