The purpose of randn is to generate Normally distributed random numbers. It keeps changing for every call. Read the documentation.

If you want to have the same stream of random numbers every time you run your code, simply set the seed of the random generator to a constant value of your choice, using rng
>>rng(1234); %choose whatever number you want
>>randn(1, 2)
ans =
-0.947246643957371 0.540149747070348
>>randn(1, 2)
ans =
-0.216602140976276 1.18903197494834
>>%...later
>>rng(1234); %same seed as before, produces the same sequence
>>randn(1, 2)
ans =
-0.947246643957371 0.540149747070348
>>randn(1, 2)
ans =
-0.216602140976276 1.18903197494834
