Sound of Water / Change Your Mind Lyrics
Just to hear the sound of water
Just to put the fire on ice
I'm lying down in the shower
O mercy loosen the vice
Sometimes the sword is so heavy
And the pain has a ravenous mouth
In the pits of my own making
Sometimes I don't think I'll ever get out
All the world stroking their comas
And the madmen making the news
Bent over like a beggar
I was saying "It's no use"
This ain't a world for intelligent women
Unless you like swimming in your own dark sea
These are times are for urgent rhymes
But where the poetry?
When the light
The light is hard to find!
And you're walking blind
You only need to change your mind
Your mind
Wide awake and hope-infected
I became a glittering queen
Every light in my direction
Was a bright magnificent green
Adorned with invisible riches
I saw my stitches glowing so bright
No the burden was not heavy,
For the master it was light
When the light
The light is hard to find!
And you're walking blind
You only need to change your mind
You only need to change your mind
Your mind
When the light
The light is hard to find!
And you're walking, walking blind
The light
The light is hard to find!
And you're walking blind
You only need to change your mind
You only need to change your mind
Just to put the fire on ice
I'm lying down in the shower
O mercy loosen the vice
Sometimes the sword is so heavy
And the pain has a ravenous mouth
In the pits of my own making
Sometimes I don't think I'll ever get out
And the madmen making the news
Bent over like a beggar
I was saying "It's no use"
Unless you like swimming in your own dark sea
These are times are for urgent rhymes
But where the poetry?
The light is hard to find!
And you're walking blind
You only need to change your mind
Your mind
I became a glittering queen
Every light in my direction
Was a bright magnificent green
Adorned with invisible riches
I saw my stitches glowing so bright
No the burden was not heavy,
For the master it was light
The light is hard to find!
And you're walking blind
You only need to change your mind
You only need to change your mind
Your mind
The light is hard to find!
And you're walking, walking blind
The light is hard to find!
And you're walking blind
You only need to change your mind

“I see it as an extension of ‘Hopeful Hearts.’ It’s about changing your mind, capital M. Sometimes I would catch myself saying ‘if only this was different,’ but the only thing you can truly change is how you think about everything. Most instances when I was in pain, it was not the circumstance that was to blame, it was how I was looking, receiving, interpreting it. Minds are powerful.”
