Changes are coming
Hard and fast
Like giant waves
One after another
Ready or not
Here they come
Hold your breath
And get ready to go under
And just when you come up for air
Another one comes
Before you’re ready
And you’re back under water again
Holding your breath
Trying to stay calm
But at the same time
Praying that it will be over soon
Praying that it will be over
Before you disappear into oblivion
Never to be seen again

Poetry doesn’t pay the bills
But it might save your life
When the waves of change come
And they are too strong to handle
Sometimes you just have to hold on tight
And say your prayers
And trust that you are in God’s hands
And trust that whatever happens
Was meant to be
In the best of times
And the worst of times
Hold on tight and pray
That soon you will be able to breathe again
When you get by the waves of change
