Year Of The Changes

Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by REO Speedwagon (Roll With the Changes)

“As soon as you are able”, 

that is what they told me

“Please stop what you have done, and try the new way”

My jaw hit the table, 

but they cajoled me

Things don’t often change here if I dare say 


I used to think it’s been the same old story

Oh, now for ages

But that was before 2018,

“The Year of the Changes”

Yeah, yeah, whoo!


We all sustained the new guy,

but we weren’t prepared for,

constant, non-stop revelation

First he combined the quorums,

old guys joined young ones

And next we got home teaching transformation


So if you’re tired of the same old story

Same book, same old pages

Just remember 2018,

“The Year of the Changes”

Ahhhhhhhhhh, yeah


Whoo!


Sooooooo-oowhoa,

if you’re tired of the same old story

Oh, baby, same old pages

I hope you will always remember,

“The Year of the Changes”

Baby

All kinds of changes

Oh, you know, you know, you know there’s more too


New youth program

Oh yeah 

Church at home plan 

Ohhhhhhh, year of the changes

Keep on going…

Don’t say “Mormon”

Oh yeah

Boy Scouts, all done


Ohhhhhhh, now roll with the changes, oh baby

Mission calls online

Oh baby

Bye, bye Ensign

Oh you’ve got to learn to roll with the changes

Got ta, got ta, got ta, got ta keep on rollin’

Missionaries

Got ta keep on

Zoom their families

Oh, you’ve got to learn to, got to learn to, got to learn to roll


Solos
