EveryThing Must Change
Prysock Arthur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing stays the same
Everyone must change
No one stays the same
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change
The young become the old
And 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
Sun lights up the sky
And butterflies do fly
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And music
And music
Makes me cry
The lyrics to Prysock Arthur's song "Everything Must Change" reflect a universal truth about the nature of life: change is inevitable. The song opens by making this statement outright, with the refrain "Everything must change, nothing stays the same." The verses elaborate on this theme, pointing out that everyone must change throughout their lives, from young to old, and that these changes can reveal mysteries and secrets that were previously unknown.
The song recognizes that there are some things in life that are constant, such as the fact that rain comes from clouds, the sun will always light up the sky, and small creatures like hummingbirds and butterflies will always fly. These constants serve as a grounding force amidst the uncertainty of life's changes, and the recognition of their permanence is comforting.
Ultimately, the song emphasizes that change is a fundamental part of life, and that accepting and embracing these changes is necessary for growth and progress. As the final lines suggest, music has the power to evoke emotion and even make us cry, which highlights just how deeply we are affected by the changes that occur throughout our lives.

I met him later on in his career. He was performing at a small club in Marina Del Rey, hardly ANYONE was there. When a friend of mine and I walked in, he was on break, so we sat down at a horseshoe-shaped booth where we could look directly up the isle to the stage. The lights went off, and before he appeared on stage he started singing one of my favorite songs "When I fall in love, it will be forever." And as he sung he proceeded to walk towards the stage, right by our table, still in the dark with a dimly lit stage, and I was in heaven. I was so in love with this man's voice and the love ballads he sung, I just could not wrap my ahead around the fact that hardly anyone was there. Needless to say when my friend went the bathroom during the next break, he approached my table and asked if he could join me. Hell yeah! We chatted for quite some time, and I knew that I would remember this evening for the rest of my life. My friend returned to the table was so happy for me that I got to meet him. He even autographed my drivers license!
