Jimmy Davis - Small Changes Big Changes Lyrics
He had a change of heart, and decided to take apartThe pieces of his life and slowly make a startOn reconstructing his entire existenceHe knew the transformation would require persistenceStuck in the tunnel and can see a tiny speck of lightBut the one that’s burning inside him would be forever brightEnough to light the way, regardless of the time of dayThere was a time his mind would sayTo shy away and hibernateAs a teenager, when he wasn’t being usedHe was in the background just like a screensaverSo the challenge was to be braverBut it threw up many obstaclesNot least his behaviourEasily led and easily fed liesThis ground was unwise to illegally treadHe would have to face the storms and baron landWithout a clear sense of direction because he hadn’t plannedI’m making changesAnd trading placesI’m changing facesReplacing James’sThe map he was followingWas nearly as messy and mixed up as the tabs he was swallowingNo begging no borrowingJust stealing, thieving and plenty of soul hollowingDecimating his inner self before its discoveryLuckily that would return on his recoveryUntil that point well it was learning the hard wayAnd singing to the tune of crack music like KanyeMoved to class A from recreationalYou lose your personality, it’s irreplaceableBut watch it strip you of your characterAnd encourage the output of nastiness inside you like a catheterBut it was something that destiny had given himDelivering trials to make him stronger it wasn’t killing himInstead it stood him in good stead for the disciplineRequired to become something inspired and rivetingI’m making changesAnd trading placesI’m changing facesReplacing James’sSmall changes lead to big changesBut we lose the impetus when the soul disengagesIt’s the ground that we’ll be replanted onThe soil we’re turning over from where we’ll be pushing daisiesWe should be constantly cultivating,The stems of our characters and alternatingBetween the qualities we need to nurtureTo nourish the inner self and to feed us furtherIn a drought have no doubtOur brilliance and innovation will provide the irrigationUsually it’s the things we find the hardest to stopThat aren’t allowing us to fully harvest the cropSometimes this is nature’s wayWe all have to find the courage to brave and sayThat we reroute the ways we followCos small changes today, are big changes tomorrow
