Season of Change
Stone Foundation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What constitutes the past
A whisper on the wind
The truth is wearing thin
We are not receiving something to believe in
Oh we try to see the world
Our heaven here on earth
Begins to feel like hell
We are not receiving something to believe in
You know that it′s time to start a season of change
Stop fooling ourselves about the promises made
Oh it's time to pull together, stop fighting one another
It′s time to start a season of change
Have you ever crave the sunlight in a world that's full of rain
Tried to cast your . in a river full of pain
So our leaders fight each other pointing fingers, passing lane
Nothing changes, nothing alters, everything just stays the same
We are not receiving something to believe in
You know that it's time to start a season of change
Stop fooling ourselves about the promises made
Oh it′s time to pull together
Stop fighting one another
It′s time to start a season of change
(Come on, come on)
Signals fading fast
What constitutes the past
A whisper on the wind
The truth is wearing thin
We are not receiving something to believe in
Oh we try to see the world a little wise as thing
Our heaven here on earth begins to feel like hell
We are not receiving something to believe in
You know that it's time to start a season of change
Stop fooling ourselves about the promises made
Oh it′s time to pull together
Stop fighting one another
It's time to start a season of change
Ohh, mmmm
The lyrics of Stone Foundation's song Season of Change is a commentary on the state of the world and the disillusionment that comes with it. The opening lines talk about how the signals of the past are fading fast, and the truth is wearing thin because of the lack of something to believe in. This sets the tone for the rest of the song which talks about the hopelessness of trying to make sense of the world and the feeling of being stuck in a cycle that never changes. The chorus urges the listeners to stop fooling themselves about the promises made and to start a season of change. The bridge talks about the struggle of trying to make a difference in a world that seems to be full of pain and where the leaders are constantly passing the blame onto each other.
The overall theme of the song is the need for change in a world that is stuck in a cycle of disappointment and disillusionment. The lyrics highlight the frustration that comes with trying to make sense of a world that is constantly at odds with itself. The urgency of the chorus emphasizes the need for people to come together and make a change so that things can improve. The song can be interpreted as a call to action for people to take responsibility for changing their world and not wait for someone else to do it for them.

Thank you sister LaVette and thank you to Weller and all involved for letting this legend of soul have the sound bed she truly deserves. This is real soul for the people..... real hair standing up on the back of your neck soul. Long live the soul rebels!!!
