Lyrics Never Change - Obongjayar

Never Change

I miss running round in the garden
Chasing dragonflies in the high sun
Screaming till we lose our voices
Hope we never lose our smiles
Remember when it’d rain and we’d dance outside
We didn’t have much but we have life
To me that is all that matters
Time was just a stranger then
Stay like this
Forever
Never change
I wish the world would spin more slowly
I don’t recognise myself
Everyone around me’s changing
Colours fade to black and white
I’ll do all I can just to stay alive
And e no pretty
Look away
Look away
I write so you can know our stories
I fight so you don’t have to run
Stay like this
Forever
Never change
The world is failing all around you
N' Everything is upside down
N' Everyday you start to notice
Everyday it breaks my heart
You’re too precious all your questions are parables that don’t make sense
You wish that you were big like me
I wish that I could see like you
Everyday we thread on open caskets
My sky is grey my air is blue
These motherfuckers took away my innocence
I won’t let them do the same to you
Stay
That way
Never
