There’s been a change in me

A kind of moving on

Though what I used to be

I still depend on

For now I realize

That good can come from bad

That may not make me wise

But oh it makes me glad

I never thought I’d leave behind

My childhood dreams

But I don’t mind

For now I love the world I see

No change of heart a change in me

For in my dark despair

I slowly understood

My perfect world out there

Had disappeared for good

But in its place I feel

A truer life begin

I’m where and who I want to be

No change of heart

A change in me

 

A Change In Me is a solo song from the Broadway musical Beauty and the Beast, written especially for Tony Braxton’s debut performance in 1998 by Tim Rice and Alan Menken.

Kaizen is a Japanese word meaning change for good or continual improvement, and is also Ken’s new favorite word.
