Píseň: Goddess of Change

Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
This Charming Life
Oh my
 I was looking for the sunshine
 For the bright side
 To those gloomy clouds of steely grey


 It all rests on this
 How do I see things now
 In my average day
 Am I an average Joe
 Or do I seize the moment
 And call on Oya 
 The goddess of change


 Oh my
 It's funny how things turn out fine
 Worries 
 They always seem much worse at night


 It all rests on this
 How do I see things now
 In my average day
 Am I an average Joe
 Or do I seize the moment
 And call on Oya 
 The goddess of change


 Seeing lover's embrace
 Makes you want to find your
 Corner of happiness
 Call the goddess Oya


 (Answer)
 Everybody looking for
 Something to make them
 Much more happy and
 Somewhat sweeter than
 Seize the moment
 call on Oya
