Lyrics
Like falling dreamsNothing’s like what it seemsThough it frightens youAnd the reason is‘Cause it wasn’t true
Faces come and go (faces come and go)No one stays foreverOnly names rememberAnd those tooIf they weren’t true
Everything must change (everything must change)But the one who made itAnd only He can change itOnly He can
For He is trueFor He is true
