Lyric Question Options

[mymrnngjckt]

I am hoping someone may be able to help me out. IIRC, at either the 3/22/96 or 6/10/98 Chameleon show, Live performed a song containing the lyrics along the lines of the below:

"Jesus was a carpenter before he was a savior"

I may be off on the lyrics and this may not have happened. I was 21 and 23 at the time of these shows so alcohol played a part in my enjoyment of the evening.

If anyone knows the song and full lyrics and who would be so kind as to post them, I would be appreciative.

Thank you

The song is called change. There is a real bad copy floating around from the Tibetan freedom concert that year. The concert was streamed live.

If anyone knows the song and full lyrics and who would be so kind as to post them, I would be appreciative.

As briburge mentioned, the only source fans have is from a low quality recording from 1998. I have a copy of it somewhere that I can upload on the weekend.

Here is my attempt at transcribing the lyrics.

Change

And she said "Help me disappear"
And I said "How am I supposed to do that?"
Don't you know that I didn't disappear
You're gonna have to go a little higher than me for that

I'd hide in the fields in your hands
I'd hide in the rage ??
You're gonna have to go a little higher than that
I'm sorry but, we're all gonna have to change

Yeah

And she said "Could you help me disappear?"
And I said "How am I supposed to do that?"
Don't you know that we didn't disappear
You'll have to go a little higher than me for that

I'd hide in a bullet in a gun
I'd hide in the rage of your ??
We're all gonna have to go a little higher, both of us tonight
We're all gonna have to change

You're gonna have to go ???

Jesus was a carpenter before he got to saviour
??? ?? ?? before he got to save us
Mr Rogers was never my neighbour
All these flag wavers are gonna have to change their behaivour
Before we go down
Before we go alone

And she said "Would you help me disappear?"
And I said "I've been right where you are sister"
---
And you know, you know that we ???
She said "help me" she said "help me", "help me"

You're gonna have to go a lot higher!

Jesus was a carpenter before he got to saviour
??? ?? ?? before he got to save us
Mr Rogers was never my neighbour
All these flag wavers are gonna have to change their behaivour
We're all gonna have to change
It's almost 1999, oh Lord
Before we go down this rocky road
Before we go down

Jesus was a carpenter before he got to saviour
?? ??
Mr Rogers was never my neighbour
All these flag wavers are gonna have to change their behaivour
We're all gonna have to change
We're all gonna have to change
We're all gonna have to change
We're all gonna have to change
We're all gonna have to change, change, change
We're all gonna have to change
