Benson, George - Everything Must Change Lyrics






Everyone will change
Everything will change

Everything must change
Nothing stays the same (no, no)
Everyone must change
Nothing stays the same

The young become the old
Mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
And sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly

Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal (yes it will)
But never much too soon
Everything must change

The young become the old
Mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
And sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly

(Nothing stays the same)

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
And sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly

    The Benson album IN FLIGHT is one of the bests ever and one of my favourite ones.

  7. b.... s....

  11. D.... P....

    Saw him in concert in Vegas with a wonderful guy. Thanks Ed J. Sr.

  12. J.... T....

    He is one of the best jazz guitarists in the world. Saw him in the 80’s. Loved him, love him now.

  13. R.... M....

    When George started with Stanly Clark i knew his song had many meanings and change that was to come, especially after coming home from Viet Nam. He is one of a kind of special performers of my days. Still no one brings this sound around in todays music. He is genuine and sold in listen music of yesterday. Having the albums he put out still and my record player still spins his recordings. A true artist of music and still the sound brings memories to my era. Keep on breezing. Peace be the Journey George.

    R.... M....

  30. G.... ....

    Ray robinsons favorite song :D

  31. S.... K....

    In 1977, as a sophomore in high school, I would sit listening to this song over and over again for hours. Looking back, I wonder what was going on inside of me that drew me to these lyrics and caused me to latch on to such a mature song.

    Tonight my daughter has fallen asleep on the other side of my bed. She looks so peaceful. This will be last time I'll see her this way. The mommy-daughter moments end tonight. Tomorrow she makes her career decision that will take her far away. She's 18.

    Everyone will change. Everything must change. I was young. I've become old.

    I can be sure of one thing -- and it is far beyond even the rhythm of nature.
    He is the maker of nature.
    The Lord. He is changeless.
    His promises do not change.
    His love for me and for her will never change.

    He will usher us through this separation.

    What now Lord?
    What awaits my daughter?
    This change sets the course for the rest of her life.

    What of me? I have been battered and torn by resisting the inevitable. Can't we cuddle like this just a little while longer?

    In the whirlwinds, I will keep my eyes fixed on you, Lord.

    You are Changeless.

    I will pray for my girl-turned-young woman.

    With all of the loved stored up in my heart, it would be a ceremony act to not teach her this fact of life.

    In fact, it may be the greatest gift I can offer her. The encouragement and support to embrace change.
    The sights, flavors, and texture, whether smooth or bitter are what reveal the depths of the beauty of life, who we are and how we have arrived at where we are today and any stage of life?

    Knowing that my daughter and I rest in the Changeless hands of the Almighty God, Christ Jesus, life and it's tumultuous changes become the amusement rides on our earthly playground.

    We are free to play knowing that nothing and no change has the power to steal our Peace.

    Our peace is promised to last for eternity.

    S.... K....

    music & words ...

  32. T.... S....

    Life’s like a book. Everyday is a page as we live and move through chapters. Change is inevitable. Enjoy life. Soon it will end for us all. Live long and live well my friends. 😊

  33. G.... M....

    What a wonderful time in life when artist sang these songs with meanings and not naked dancers bouncing around.

  34. M.... r....

    Randy Crawford did it best. But this is beautiful.

  35. c.... ....

    I was groovin' on George Benson when he was strictly a jazz instrumentalist, a guitarist talented (and brave) enough to appear on the scene after Wes Montgomery. One of his first groups had a front-line of himself and baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber, who I heard later at UW-Madison, when Maynard came through. Today the scene has changed to the degree that instrumental music let alone "jazz" no longer matters to people. It may have died with Coltrane in 1967 or Ellington in 1974 or with Bill Evans in 1980 or with Miles and everyone else circa 1990 (incl. Sonny Stitt and Jug, Lockjaw and Dexter, Al Cohn and Zoot Sims, Stan Getz and Dizzy Gillespie). Anyway, it was a beautiful if challenging (for listeners as well as musicians) art form that had evolved from a folk form (the 12-bar blues) with Louis in the 1920s. In retrospect, its duration was an all-too-brief flaming star. But with all the recordings that remain, perhaps like European classical music it will linger for a while longer as America's claasical African-American art form. I know I couldn't get through a day without listening to Hank Mobley.

  36. C.... N....

    Bernard Igner the composer and original singer of "Everything must change" ........what a talent!!

  37. S.... T....

  39. K.... v....

  43. J.... C....

    Loved it as soon as I heard the first composition by Quincy Jones

  44. H.... W....

    I am speechless....the music...the voice...the voice...the voice...the voice

  45. I.... ....

    Moving from vocals, to guitar and ad lib to beautiful piano and back to vocals wow!

  46. K.... W....

    hearing this song at 14 in 1977, had no appreciation...now at 56, having lost so many including Mamma, many disappointments, heartbreaks, etc, do understand richly...

  47. m.... a....

    ★★★★★★★★★★

  48. L.... T....

  50. G.... m....

    Everything must change,
    Nothing stays the same.
    Everyone must change
    Nothing stays the same.

    The young become the old,
    Mysteries do unfold.
    'Cause that's the way of time
    Nothing and no one goes unchanged.

    There are not many things
    In life you can be sure of.
    Except

    Rain comes from the clouds,
    And sun lights up the sky,
    And humming birds do fly.

    Winter turns to spring.
    Wounded heart will heal.
    Never much too soon
    Everything must change

    The young become the old,
    Mysteries do unfold.
    'Cause that's the way of time
    Nothing and no one goes unchanged.

    There are not many things
    In life you can be sure of.
    Except

    Rain comes from the clouds,
    And sun lights up the sky,
    And humming birds do fly.

  55. H.... C....

    I genuinely want solidarity within us.  Don't let the internet Negativity feed you &  destroy what should be.  We are ONE, genuine kind and beyond reproach.

  56. H.... C....

    I remember hearing this song & it means more now than ever.  I wish so much from history never happened (I.  e., slavery).  We need to come together through intelligent & forgiveness.  Forgiveness, let's move forward with love and the desire to be better together; we all must CHANGE.  I love you all unconditionally.

  64. H.... C....

    Always come back to the classic, listen to the rift of the guitar & piano, simply, class & soul.  One thing is certain, Rain comes from the clouds, sunlight comes from above, & hummingbirds do fly... I truly love George Benson for what he gave me.

  65. H.... C....

    Listen to the beauty and real insight.. I adore George Bensons' ability to write, create music and find our souls desire to be better.  Everything must change, everyone must change, there is so much heart in these lyrics.  Let's be good to one another.  We MUST get beyond this divide
