Glasvegas
"Change"

mama, i feel so scared
for three years
liberty and walking free
was every night my fantasies
mama, i feel so afraid
swallow me up the open gates
the unknown awaits
wish i was back in the comfort of my own cage
cause i don't think could ever ever change

son, don't be scared. don't be afraid.
let's earn each others love
and never until its something unconditional
son, bring back that smile again,
be led not into temptation
dare to resist reoffending again
son, truly, it's never too late to change

mama, my street as i remember is still the same
wonder what the people round here say?
son, only you can turn things the other way
i think my friends have all gave up on me
untie your chains, reach out in apology
then dance dance dance into the the future with me
beware the fences the prison defences, and the lies they say
inside these walls commitments involuntary
only the lonely in this correctional facility's
isn't it sad, isn't it a pity.

in the still of every night... i pray
for the damaged who'll be loved unwillingly
from in a place, no man truly ever walks away

mum i'm so sorry for what i've put you through
i will change for you

son, a change is sometimes good
but before you change for me...
change for you.
