A Change at Christmas (Say It Isn't So)

I know everything changes
Yeah  it's strange how time marches on
Maybe there'll be some time in the future
Oh  tell me I'm not wrong
Oh  if I could stop time
It would be a frozen moment just around Christmas
When all of mankind reveals its truest potential
And there is sympathy for the suffering
Yes  there is sympathy for those who are suffering
And the world embraces peace and love and mercy
Instead of power and fear
And as sure as I'm standing here
I swear it really does appear that a change comes over us
Yes  some kind of change comes over us
And it's glimpsed for one shining moment
And this change feels like a change that's real
But then it passes along with the season
And then we just go back to the way we were
Yes  we just go back to the way we were
Say it isn't so
Tell me I'm not just a dreamer
I'm talking with a friend and he knows how it ends
He says it's easier  that's just the way we are
That's human nature and that's just the way we are
Oh  say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
