A Change At Christmas (say It Isn't So) Lyrics - Flaming Lips

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
