When change is knocking at your door
Cuando el cambio llama a tu puerta
You can't survive there anymore
No puedes sobrevivir ahí más
It's time to pack your things and go
Es hora de empacar tus cosas y partir
And leave the fine folks that you know
Y dejar a la gente buena que conoces
So say goodbye to all the faces
Así que despídete de todos los rostros
That made you feel so safe and sure
Que te hicieron sentir tan seguro y confiado
And say hello to stranger places
Y saluda a lugares extraños
That'll take you
Que te llevarán
Down all alone, in the cold, but you've got to move on
Solo en la fría soledad, pero tienes que seguir adelante
Ain't that the way it goes?
¿No es así como va?
When obstacles get in the way
And no one hears the words you say
Well you've tried everything you can
You took more than you could stand
All your new sisters and new brothers
Have a deep unspoken love
They're looking out for one another
They won't make you, feel so alone, in the cold, you can keep moving
Ain't that the way it goes?
Nobody told you
It would be without its share of regret
Well they'll come and they'll go and they'll make you so low
But you know you haven't turned back yet...
So say goodbye to all the faces
That made you feel so safe and sure
And say hello to stranger places
That'll take you
Down all alone, in the cold, but you've got to move on
Ain't that the way it goes?
