Change Lyrics

Artist: Anthony Stewart Head
Album: Music For Elevators

Change is the thing
If there ever was a moment in your life when you turned to take a look at yourself
A long hard cold stare at the person you are
It doesn't matter what brought you here, to this point in time
It could have been your lover or your teacher or maybe just a good friend
But now is the moment, now is your chance, now is the beginning of a new
Dance
It's all too easy to say, "I am who I am" - to allow yourself to
Shrug your shoulders and say, "Accept me, I accept myself"
Change
Embrace it - don't just turn and face the strain
Every threshold is surrounded by fear - as you step over it, it becomes
Resolution
Find the blocks that prevent you from achieving your goals - the
Personal
Patterns that you repeat again and again - break the pattern, the karma
Crack it open
And...
Change
It's scary as hell, but let go of the rope
Let go of behaviour that you think holds you up
Because it ties you down, it only holds you back
It's time to fly without the aid of a net
Parachutes are gone, that stopped you from falling
Scared of the freefall - that chaos is calling
And the changes don't finish, just because you started
Allow yourself the lessons, there's room for heartache
Acknowledge the breakthroughs, but know there's always more
Don't stop yourself from being all you can be
To measure up to all he's expected to achieve
A man must do more than he is capable of
Man is what he believes

Hard to determine if this is a song about compassion, self-acceptance, and the resistance to personal growth, or a statement that no matter how much you achieve, you can do better. Keep striving maybe? How does that fit with "to measure up...a man must do more than he's capable of" and the last line?
