sometimes i recall the way it used to be
cold september wind, darkness down on me
passion that i felt so deep inside
mirrors always made me want to hide
uphill every day, family just in ruins
people livin' for themselves and livin' on excuses
life became a one-act misery
struggle made a stranger out of me

it was a changin' wind, a rearrangin' wind
it was a changin', rearrangin' wind
it was a changin' wind

sometimes i remember just the way it felt
blisters in my ragged soul, blowin' in from hell
passion that just seemed a ball an' chain
that was my life before the Savior came

it was a changin' wind, a powerful wind
it was a changin', rearrangin' wind
a rearrangin' wind
