Change
Brooke White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one understand the way you're feeling
Trap beneath the clouds and rain
The rain at the left for you to believe in
So when it's hard to see
The forest through the trees
Sometimes, and I will pray
That someday
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
I wish I can take it all away
And give you the freedom for just a day
To feel the love you've been longing for
So strong you couldn't feel sad anymore
So when it's hard to see
The forest through the trees
Sometimes, and I will pray
And yes I'll pray
That someday
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
So don't give up and don't give in
When there's a choice to synch with swift
Cause in the end
Our hope is stand
Knowing you become a better man
A better man
So when it's hard to see
The forest through the trees
Just know
That I will pray
And yes I'll pray
That someday
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
Oh
Brooke White's song "Change" depicts a message of hope and encouragement for someone who is struggling with pain and difficulty. The first verse paints a picture of isolation and despair - someone who is trapped beneath the "clouds and rain" of their emotions, feeling misunderstood and alone. However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope, as White sings about praying that "someday it's gonna change," insisting that despite the darkness of the present moment, things can and will get better.
The second verse brings a specific image to mind - the singer wishing she could take all of the other person's pain away and grant them a day of pure happiness and love. This gesture is both touching and impossible, but it speaks to the depth of the singer's compassion and empathy. The bridge builds on the theme of resilience and perseverance, encouraging the listener not to give up or give in, but to keep striving towards a better future. The song ends with a repeated chorus, driving home the message of hope and possibility.
Overall, "Change" is a powerful and uplifting song that reminds listeners to hold onto hope in difficult times, to support each other through tough moments, and to believe in the possibility of a brighter future.
