I can remember those days as a child When life was a treasure filled with wonder and joy The simplest of things were filled with such pleasure And love was a virtue time could not destroy. Oh, I still need these things to believe in To protect my heart from the rain. Something's gone wrong. Oh, the old feeling is gone. Lord, I need a change; A change in the way that I'm living; A different way to deal; A change in the way I perceive this old world. Oh, I need something that's real. These days I wonder, what's become of that boy? I know he has traveled on many dark roads. How can a soul wipe clean of the sorrow? And how can a heart unburden that load? I still need these things to believe in That protect my heart from the rain. Oh, but something's gone wrong. The feeling is gone, And, oh, Lord, I need a change. I need a change in the way that I'm living; A different way to deal; A change in the way I perceive this old world. Oh, I need something that's real. Oh, Lord, I need something to feel, Oh, something to feel.
