Changes

It's the way the world goes around 
I change, you change, we change
One minute your up the next you are down 

The hand I reach to grab is no longer yours 
The voice speaks a different language 
The gentle touch is no more
It's the way the world goes around

The hair I stroke is knotted unlike before 
The cheeks i touch, rough not the same 
The whole persona from surface to core
I change, you change, we change

The way you are towards our darling son  
He wants his daddy to be back to normal 
How can I explain what is going on
One thing will never change I am his mom  

It's the way the world goes around 
I won't change nor your son 
We are up and you are down
