about

"I can change but it's so difficult." That lines expresses the sentiment behind the song.

lyrics

Nothing Changes

Nothing changes

‘Til something changes.

Everything changes

When something changes.

Everything remains

All things the same.

Oh, my life

Will you remain the same?

Change has come,

Change not the same

Nothing changes

‘Til something changes.

Everything changes

When something changes.

I can change,

But it’s so difficult.

I want change,

But it’s so difficult.

I must change,

But it’s so difficult.

It’s so difficult.

It’s so difficult.

Believe

If you can

Retrieve

But you can't

Deceit

Will not stand.

Be,

You are.

Stand

On your feet.

This is your feast.

Here's your seat.

Table's served.

Stables reserved.

Don't turn, you don't have to!

Bend, but don't break.

No, it's not late!

Time is on your side.

You are fine.

Oh my,

We don't need any signs!

You're Orion:

Ion,

Zion,

Scions of a Lion.

No apologies necessary, reproaches or effigies.

None warranted,

It's all taken from granted.

Granted you are wanted,

Featured in different concerts,

Right from the onset:

Maybe unheard of but thought of

Perhaps unspoken of but written about.

What is held in the mind is weightier than what is already said.

I can change,

But it’s so difficult.

I want change,

But it’s so difficult.

I must change,

But it’s so difficult.

It’s so difficult.

It’s so difficult.

I could believe.

I need relief.

I must be.

Could I be me?

This is we.

Could we really be?

Us all are we:

Our time to be.

Different places,

Spaces and faces.

Different phases,

Pages and ages.

Look around;

We’ve all been changing!

I was a child.

I put childish ways behind me.

I was a child.

I put childish days behind me.

No more a child,

'Ain't waiting to be a man.

No more a child,

Ain't trying to be a man.

Osekre New York, New York

"This Afro-indie band can’t be pinned to any one genre but instead transcends all, with lyrical and reflective beats. The band “turns local sounds global and brings global sounds local” with its clear African influence, but its sound goes beyond this, creating a universal funk that anyone would want to jam to.
