In 2000, Sia signed to Sony Music's sub-label Dance Pool and released her second studio album, Healing Is Difficult, the following year. Displeased with the promotion of the record, she signed to Go! Beat and released her third studio album, Colour the Small One, in 2004. The project struggled to connect with a mainstream audience, and so Sia relocated to New York City in 2005 and began touring across the United States. She released her fourth and fifth studio releases, Some People Have Real Problems and We Are Born, in 2008 and 2010, respectively. She then took a hiatus from performing, during which she focused on songwriting for other artists. Her catalogue includes the successful collaborations "Titanium" (with David Guetta), "Diamonds" (with Rihanna) and "Wild Ones" (with Flo Rida).
In 2014, Sia released her sixth studio album 1000 Forms of Fear, which debuted at No 1 in the U.S. Billboard 200 and generated the top-ten breakthrough single "Chandelier" and a trilogy of music videos starring child dancer Maddie Ziegler. In 2016, she released her seventh studio album This Is Acting, which spawned her first Hot 100 number one single, "Cheap Thrills". The same year, Sia gave her Nostalgic for the Present Tour, which incorporated performance art elements. Sia has received an array of accolades, including ARIA Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.
Courage To Change
Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want my life to matter
I am afraid I have no purpose here
I watch the news on TV
Abandon myself daily
I am afraid to let you see the real me
Rain it falls, rain it falls
Pouring on me
And the rain it falls, rain it falls
Sowing the seeds of love and hope, love and hope
We don't have to stay here, stuck in the weeds
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change today? (Oh)
Have I the courage to change?

Have I the courage to change today? (Oh)
You're not alone in all this

Standing together we can do anything

You're not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything
World, you're not alone in all this
You're not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything
I want to leave you better
I want my life to matter
I am afraid I have no purpose here
Rain it falls, rain it falls
Pouring on me

Sowing the seeds of love and hope, love and hope
We don't have to stay here, stuck in the weeds

The lyrics of Sia's "Courage to Change" speak of a desire to make a positive impact on the world and the fear of not being able to achieve it. The singer admits to feeling lost, uncertain about her purpose and unable to be her true self. She is overwhelmed by the negativity in the news and finds it hard to keep going. However, the rain serves as a metaphor for hope, a source of nourishment for the seeds of love and change that can grow in even the most barren of places. The chorus repeatedly asks whether the singer has the courage to change, to make a difference, to be brave in the face of adversity. Ultimately, the song's message is one of solidarity and encouragement, reminding listeners that they are not alone and that together they can accomplish anything.

i think you didn't understand the song at all. in fact in the description SIA says "The only thing that remains constant is change." . So, what you say about Sia hasn't changed at all is not accurate
