Language change: what can you do?

[Wilson Gray]

The chorus of the song was,

"We just just need to reach the sky
Whatever happened to you and I?"


First thought: Well, clearly, they *had* to use "to you and _I_" to
rhyme with "to reach the _sky_."

Second thought: It's probably more likely that they came up with "to
reach the sky" to rhyme with "to you and I."

Youneverknow.

to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
