Composed by Roger McGuinn & Chris Hillman, McGuinn decribed it as “another one of those guru-spiritual-mystic songs”.
The lyrics encourage the listener to seize the day, to live in the moment, and reflect a lot of the spiritual ideologies of the counter-culture at that time.
[Verse 1:]
Change is now, change is now
Things that seemed to be solid are not
All is now, all is now
The time that we have to live
[Chorus:]
Gather all that we can
Keep in harmony with love's sweet plan
[Verse 2:]
Truth is real, truth is real
That which is not real does not exist
In and out roundabout
Dance to the day when fear it is gone
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
Change is now, change is now
Things that seemed to be solid are not
In and out roundabout
Dance to the day when fear it is gone
Fear it is gone[x2]
Change Is Now was written by Chris Hillman & Roger McGuinn.
