Story Behind The Song

Inspired by my father (Dr. A.C. Sultan-Khan RIP 1994) who taught me at an early age about universal, timeless truths - the ongoing search for change being one of them.

Song Description

Change starts from within each individual. I find it strange that everyone seems to beg for change, but no one is willing to.

Lyrics

Strange - Jason Sultan-Khan
Yes please mister, change the scene
I can't remember being clean
I think I was two years too old
When suddenly it became so cold

Yes please lady, change the way
I can't remember feeling safe
I thought by now the war would stop
But the cries of the fallen wake me up

And lord only knows
Knows only when
When I could love
When I could love again. . . and it's so strange

And it's oh so strange, it's oh so strange
How we all want change
But nobody's willing to X 2

Yes please sister, change the plea
My conscience says I am guilty
Of so many atrocities
Perhaps I'm just scared of being alone

Yes please baby, make you own way
So you can remember a better place
And strive to be better, better than me
In your faith, in your hope, in your joy and equality

And lord only knows
Knows only when
When I could love
When I could love again. . . and it's so strange

And it's oh so strange, it's oh so strange
How we all want change
But nobody's willing to X 2

And I'm not a saint and I'm not a preacher man
But I will not paint a picture with someone else's hand
So you can believe that everything is perfectly fine
Because it's not and neither am I

And it's oh so strange, it's oh so strange
How we all want change
But nobody's willing to

It' s time to change, time to rearrange
Our view on me and you
Show me you're willing to
It's oh so strange, it's oh so strange
How we all want change
Show me you're willing to
