[Chorus]
BbFFC
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
[Verse 1]
BbF
And I'm walking in the sunshine with my head held high
FC
Got my family together, got this big blue sky
BbF
And I'll go one direction with my radio on
FC
Recieving what I need to know, digesting wisdom
BbF
I can fly like an eagle from the ridges above
FC
Decend upon the people with the power of my love
BbF
Cause I believe in truth and I believe in love
FC
And I believe we are protected from the spirits above
[Chorus]
BbFFC
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
[Verse 2]
BbF
And I see a sister walking with her radio on
FC
She got flowers in her hair and she's singing this song
BbF
I don't know sometimes we're coming and sometimes we're going
FC
Sometimes we're in the middle of the great unknown
BbF
Either way respect for momma and her seven cubs
FC
And the staunch preparation for the things to come
BbF
I will go one direction with my radio on
FC
I'll keep it nice and simple, sending lots of love
[Chorus] (x2)
BbFFC
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
BbFFC
Comin' home (?) please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
