Changing california

The crossroads of a Western world
The sand beneath your feet
I swear you're a cool drink of water
In the midst of the desert heat

Like watching a surfer in the harbor
Or a steamship sailing away
You're a diamond on an ocean floor
Living it day by day

But you're Changing California
In your own special way
You can't tell the difference, but it'll never be the same
You're Changing California
Ashes into stone
Trying to find a place, you can finally call your own

The crossroads of a Western world
The sunlight over your head
Warm breezes in your face
Soaking in the golden brown sand, you bled

Now you're staring out the window
Into a pouring rain
Don't hang your head in sorrow
Don't ever fell ashamed

But you're Changing California
In your own special way
You can't tell the difference, but it'll never be the same
You're Changing California
Ashes into stone
Trying to find a place, you can finally call your own

You've since moved away from the sunlight
To an eastern darkened hell
But you still look to the sunlight
To the Heaven from which you fell

But you're Changing California
In your own special way
You can't tell the difference, but it'll never be the same
You're Changing California
Ashes into stone
Trying to find a place, you can finally call your own

Changing California
Traveled off to parts unknown
Waiting for the moment, you finally get back home

But you're Changing California
In your own special way
You can't tell the difference, but it'll never be the same
You're Changing California
Ashes into stone
Trying to find a place, you can finally call your own
