Derek Webb Everything Will Change Lyrics

When everyone you've ever loved has left or pushed you away
Oh, what's the use of trying this again
It's hard to keep from giving up
It's easier to just close up your heart
You place your votes
Misplace your hope on men
Who let you down
With loaded words and broken promises
It's hard to trust in anyone
It's easier to just fold up your arms

But everything's gonna change
And nothing's gonna stay the way it is
One day you'll wake and the curse will break
And even you won't be the same
Your hope is not wasted on the day when everything will change

You make a vow
You take the bread and wine
And the family name
With people who mistake lies for the truth
It's hard to keep on showing up
It's easier to run away from home

But everything's gonna change And nothing's gonna stay the way it is
One day you'll wake and the curse will break
And even you won't be the same
Your hope is not wasted on the day when everything will change

And on that day, there will be no time for suffering
And on that day, no hunger and no thirst
And on that day, we'll run out of time for death and tears
No wonder they call it glorious

Everything's gonna change
And nothing's gonna stay the way it is
One day you'll wake and the curse will break
And even you won't be the same

Oh everything's gonna change
And nothing's gonna stay the way it is
One day you'll wake and the curse will break
And even you won't be the same
Your hope is not wasted on the day when everything will change
