about

Permaculture principle 12: Creatively use and respond to Change - Impermanence is the only thing on which we can truly rely. The best we can do is use it to our advantage by designing for change.

lyrics

One thing’s for certain
And that’s that nothing’s for certain
You never know what’s around the bend
In whatever you’re dealing
Just accept what you’re feeling
There’s no point in believing
It will never end

Cos it’s changing
Constantly changing
In every situation
The only thing that remains the same
Is change

Like a change in the season
Change is there for a reason
Can’t stop ourselves from moving around the sun

There’s no point in complaining
If it’s stormy and raining
Just go and get an umbrella
And play in the rain with someone

Cos it’s changing
Every moment changing
Sometimes there’s nothing you can do
And no matter who you are
You’ve just got to be cool with change

Change is there make the most of it
Might as well use it for your benefit
If your food’s bad, you’d better compost it
When there’s no planes, build a pirate ship
And sail the seas
You can do as you please
Oh, but only if you know you’ve got to improvise your way
Through change

Even if you keep very still
Be guaranteed that nothing else will, no

Don’t sit around wondering what to do
If you don’t make change, it’ll happen to you

We’ve got small change and big change and loose change
Slow change and fast change and a wind change
We’ve got sea change and tree change and climate change
You change and me change and a key change

Change is all the rage, turn the page away from
This strange age of the deranged
Time to engage with rearranging our brains
From insane to sane
Step out of your cage worrying about your wage
Or the Asian stock exchange
Just drain your main vain of the pain
Take to the stage and become an agent of change
