Song Description

It an amusing look at change coming from the weirdest places

Lyrics

On the Feet of Ducks

It comes on the backs of foxes
It comes in the back of trucks
It comes wrapped in cardboard boxes
It comes on the feet of ducks
It comes with a blast of winter
It comes with a run of luck
It sticks like a cedar splinter
It comes on the feet of ducks
It comes in a plain brown wrapper
It comes with a party bow
It stays till it doesn't matter
It stays till it wants to go

(Chorus)
Maybe its welcome
Maybe its feared
Maybe its hated
Maybe revered
Maybe its painful
Maybe its fun
Maybe its brilliant
Maybe its dumb
But it touches everything under the sun

It waits just around the corner
It waits just around the back
It looms as a brighter future
It looks like the better past
The guilty becomes the pardoned
The bumpy becomes the flat
The desert becomes the garden
The lion becomes the cat
The friend becomes the lover
The lover becomes the fool
The fool becomes the wise man
The wise man remakes the rules

(Chrous)

Change comes from the weirdest places
Sneaks up slow or its in your faces
There's only one thing you can depend upon
There will be changes

The latter becomes the former
The beginning becomes the end
The jester becomes the mourner
The enemy becomes the friend
It touches our deepest worries
It colors our highest light
It makes our presumptions scurry
It judges our wrongs and rights
It is the winds of changes
It comes in the back of trucks
It's needing no pre-arrangements
It comes on the feet of ducks

(Chrous)
