Changing Times
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You must have the strength to endure
As you discover changing world
You can't be guessing, you must be for sure
In these ever changing times
You must learn to stand up on your own
Life has so much to show you
Space on the strife, fix up your life
Space on the strife, fix up your life
As you discover changing times
It's not so bad as you will find
As you discover changing world
A new direction you must keep in mind
Life has so much to show you
You must be ready for the new
Space on the strife, fix up your life
Space on the strife, fix up your life
We go through so many changes
As we learn to grow
and evolve
The world around us is always shifting
And we must learn to adapt and resolve
In these uncertain times
We must find the courage to face our fears
And embrace the opportunities
That await us in the coming years
Life is a journey full of surprises
And we must be ready for the ride
So let's not be afraid of the changing times
Let's stand up strong and keep pushing forward with pride

Saw them in 1984, 20,000 people going insane, love and dancing, singing. They were absolutely killer and so entertaining. One of those transcendent musical/spiritual experiences

..and the message is so true and timeless. It's really apropos for today's tumultuous times. Maurice is telling us to "space on the strife; fix up your life." In other words to not be stressed out on all the strife, but rather to focus on the solutions. Classic stuff. We were blessed to have Earth Wind and Fire in our youth.

This is where Maurice and the boys saw the MTV generation on the horizon. Mixing soul with rock to feed a cross over audience. Utter genius of course.

Thomas Perry Indeed. I remember buying the 12" single in Belgium whilst our band was on tour. Fantastic record.
