| A boy alone, so far from home | |
| Endless rooftops from my window | |
| I felt the gloom of empty rooms | |
| On rainy afternoons | |
| Sometimes in confusion | |
| I felt so lost and disillusioned | |
| Innocence gave me confidence | |
| To go up against reality | |
| All the same we take our chances | |
| Laughed at by time | |
| Tricked by circumstances | |
| Plus a change | |
| Plus c'est la meme chose | |
| The more that things change | |
| The more they stay the same | |
| Now I've gained some understanding | |
| Of the only world that we see | |
| Things that | |
| I once dreamed of | |
| Have become reality | |
| These walls that still surround me | |
| Still contain the same old me | |
| Just one more who's searching for | |
| A world that ought to be | |
| All the same we take our chances | |
| Laughed at by time | |
| Tricked by circumstances | |
| Plus a change | |
| Plus c'est la meme chose | |
| The more that things change | |
| The more they stay the same | |
| All the same we take our chances | |
| Laughed at by time | |
| Tricked by circumstances | |
| Plus a change | |
| Plus c'est la meme chose | |
| The more that things change | |
| The more they stay the same |
