It only takes a second, it only takes a heart beat
Another random action, a few small chosen words
Maybe something on the TV, a conversation you have heard
Something may happen to you that you cannot explain

It can change your life
It can change your life

Everything’s changed and nothing will ever
Be the same again, the same again
Everything’s changed and nothing will ever
Be the same again, the same again
Everything’s changed

A misplaced comment, too many words spoken
Somebody over hearing, who shouldn’t have been there
A heartfelt loving letter left in the wrong location
Opened by a daughter, results in devastation

It can change your life
It can change your life

Everything’s changed and nothing will ever
Be the same again, the same again
Everything’s changed and nothing will ever
Be the same again, the same again

Everything’s changed
Everything’s changed
Nothing, nothing will ever be the same
Nothing will be the same ever again, ever again

So many good intentions, thinking of what is best
But instead, it all goes wrong, leaving an unholy mess
Actions mean consequences
Sometimes there’s no turning back

A plain unassuming envelope left on the mantelpiece
Innocuous enough or so it would seem
But in the hands of the wrong person
It’ll tear you apart
It’ll shatter all your dreams

It can change your life, it can change your life

Everything’s changed and nothing will ever
Be the same again, the same again
Everything’s changed and nothing will ever
Be the same again, the same again
Everything’s changed and nothing will ever
Be the same again, the same again
The same again
