I walked the same paths you walked before me.
I sang the same songs you used to sing.
The same stars that you wished upon, the same moon.
So much has changed, but the ground stays the same.

        The walls change, 
        The ground stays the same as it was before.
        The storms rise, 
        The light shines. 
        Through it all we remain.

I lay beneath the trees that you planted.
I fought for the same change you longed for.
The same sun that warms your face still shines here.
So much has changed, but the ground stays the same.

I'll forge new paths for those who follow.
I'll share the same songs they soon will sing.
The same hope that carried us will guide them.
So much will change, but the ground stays the same.
