Well, it's a sad picture, the final blow hits ya
Somebody else gets what you wanted again and
You know it’s all the same, another time and place
Repeatin' history and you're gettin’ sick of it
[Pre-Chorus]
But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through
[Chorus]
Because these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
This revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
So we've been outnumbered, raidеd and, now, cornered
It's hard to fight when thе fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now, find things they never found
They might be bigger but we’re faster and never scared
[Pre-Chorus]
You can walk away, say, "We don’t need this"
But there's somethin’ in your eyes, says, "We can beat this"
'Cause these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
This revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah
Oh, oh-woah
[Bridge]
Tonight, we’ll stand and get off our knees
Fight for what we've worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
But we'll stand up champions tonight
[Chorus]
It was the night things changed, can you see it now?
When the walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up 'cause we never gave in
And we'll sing hallelujah, we sang hallelujah, oh
[Outro]
Hallelujah
About
“Change (Taylor’s Version)” is the thirteenth track from Swift’s s first re-recorded album, Fearless (Taylor’s Version).
Lyrically, this song finds Swift fighting for a chance for her dreams to come true as a superstar. Since, she was sixteen when she accepted to be part of Big Machine Records, — that was the smallest record label in Nashville — at the time, she was the only artist in the record label with about a dozen employees. However, the bitter and challenging begininng, she prefered to stay and see that the rise would light up their path soon.
Furthermore, Swift has written a few lines of the track, however it was left for a while, since she was wishing for a incredible occassion to get into her life for her to finally be able to finish it.
So, in 2007, when Swift won the Horizon Award at the CMAs, she looked out into all the place and sees her then manager, Scott Borchetta, in tears. That was the moment, she could finally conplete the song, which occured in the following day.
