Everything’s Different But Nothing Has Changed
© 2010 Greg Swartzentruber/John Lobello
Almost seems like yesterday
You sat up there homecoming game
Farrah hair and Disco jeans
I threw passes for the high school team
Futures float on autumn air
Now we’re here and they are there
I guess they are a lot like us
Teenaged dreamers hoping for so much
The deja vu's a little strange
Everything’s different but nothing has changed
Years ago your dad stood here
His eyes a mix of joy and fear
Yet he said those words out loud
Gave you to me - I was so proud
Now’s my turn to fill his space
Give our daughter to find her place
In the arms of her true love
I pray for strength from God above
How’d it all get rearranged?
Everything’s different but nothing has changed
You can’t swim in the same river twice
Even if you swim there every day of your life
The organ plays Amazing Grace
My father’s final resting place
Beside the box I say a prayer
Release his spirit into God’s care
I know the day will quickly come
When this task falls upon my son
I only pray that he’ll have learned
As life moves on and pages turn
Still there’s a truth that remains
Everything’s different but nothing has changed
