lyrics

Broken Minds by Jennifer Louise Taylor and John Lyle © 2010

Refrain:
Late nights, broken minds, wonderin’ when the light would shine
Lost my job, lost my friends, lost my mind, I lost everything.
Waiting for change, waiting for change , waiting just for change

Everytime you walk the street, you’ll find another one just like me
Turn around like you’re blind, might not wanna be around my kind
Asking for change, asking for change
Begging…. Just for change.

Refrain

On the dole on the town takes you backwards or takes you down
Have to ask, have to beg, cannot stand on my own two legs
Asking for change, asking for change
Begging…. Just for change.

Bridge:
Life brings you change
That can take you so far down
I’ve seen the underside
Life brings you change
While waiting for the tide
To turn your life around

Count me lucky count me saved count me in for the better days
Feeling like I missed the call, but I got family that can break my fall
Asking for change, asking for change, begging just for change

Refrain:
