World Bank
The Soundtracks of Our Lives Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a spasm of change
In the chain of change
I'm a link in a chain
An everlasting chain

Every choice that you make
All decisions you take
Will take you somewhere

Every movement you make
Every seal that you break
Will take you somewhere

Everything that you've done
Everything that you do

Is a meltdown to take us somewhere
Take us some, take us somewhere
Take us somewhere
Take us all the way

I'm a link in a chain
In the chain of change
I'm a fiber of change
A mother nature change

Every choice that you make
All decisions you take
Will take you somewhere

Every movement you make
Every seal that you break
Will take you somewhere

Everything that you were
Everything that you are

Is a meltdown to take us somewhere
Take us some, take us somewhere
Take us somewhere

Take us some, take us somewhere




Take us somewhere
To take us all the way
