It's good to be aware that a certain amount of fear is going to accompany every change in your life - a change for the worse or a change for the better.

You see, I know change
I see change
I embody change
All we do is change
Yeah, I know change

It exceeds expectations
It requires both now and then

The song remains the same
And the truth is...
You gotta have the balls to change
