Change lyrics

By: Carrie Underwood

And it's a sad picture
The final blow hits you

Somebody else gets

What you wanted again

You know it's all the same

Another time and place

Repeating history

And you're getting sick of it

But I believe in whatever you do

And I'll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change

Can you feel it now?

These walls that they put up

To hold us back

Will fall down

It's a revolution

The time will come for us to finally win

We'll sing hallelujah

We'll sing hallelujah, oh

So we've been outnumbered

Raided and now cornered

It's hard to fight

When the fight ain't fair

We're getting stronger now

Found things they never found

They might be bigger

But we're faster and never scared

You can walk away

Say we don't need this

But there's something in your eyes

Says we can beat this

'Cause these things will change

Can you feel it now?

These walls that they put up

To hold us back

Will fall down

It's a revolution

The time will come for us to finally win

We'll sing hallelujah

We'll sing hallelujah, oh

Tonight we'll stand and get off our knees

Fight for what we've worked for

All these years

The battle was long

It was the fight of our lives

But we'll stand up, champions tonight

It was the night things changed

Can you see it now?

The walls that they put up

To hold us back

Fell down

It's a revolution

Throw your hands up

'Cause we never gave in

We'll sing hallelujah

We sang hallelujah

Hallelujah

Analysis:

The song “Change” by Taylor Swift has a social message about the challenges of society and relationships. It talks about how, “Somebody else gets what you wanted again” meaning someone gets the something or someone that you wanted. It then goes to say that, “These walls that they put up To hold us back Will fall down It's a revolution The time will come for us to finally win”. This says that one day, these barriers or blockades in the fight will be broken and you will be able to get that something or someone that you wanted and become “champions tonight”. The message about fighting for what is right is a continuous theme throughout the song “Change”. This social message helps to show people that they will succeed in whatever they are going for if they stand united for the cause.
