Everything's liquid

By Dany Hearn

Once upon a time I had it all worked out
Money in my pocket, not a trace of doubt
Moving like a rocket across the firmament
Everything was locked, rock-solid, permanent

Now everything’s liquid
And subject to change
Everything’s liquid...

Once upon a time my world was black and white
Everything defined as either wrong or right
Love was in a locket placed so high upon the shelf
And I became a stranger to myself

Now everything’s liquid
And people are strange
Everything’s liquid...

Everything’s liquid... 

Once upon a time my heart was solid oak
Monuments of gold and walls of solid rock                      
Once I built an empire from the mountains to the sea
Studied by the fountains of democracy

Now everything’s liquid
And must rearrange
Everything’s liquid...
