Change The Game

V1.
I used to feel my life was full of have to’s
A to do list of I don’t want to’s
Full of my responsibilities
But a change in mindset set me free
It changed the life I see
And I love this new philosophy

Chorus
Now I get to wait in traffic
On the way home from my job
Now I get to listen to the radio
With the air conditioner on
I get to set up equipment on stage
And play music for the dreams I chase
Saying I get to instead of I have to
Helped me change the game

V2.
Now I’m grateful for the daily grind
And I’m lucky for the things I find
Troubles I think clutter every day
I’m feeling much more positive
I’ve found a brand new way to live
And my problems all have been reframed

Chorus
Now I get to have big meetings
And a long lunch with a friend
I get to get back in my car
And drive home to my house again
I get to take a shower
And get to bed early for a change
Saying I get to instead of I have to
Helped me change the game

Bridge
I’m lighter when I’m living 
Like I’m grateful, thankful, and blessed.
It’s made a world of difference I confess

Chorus
Now I get to wait in traffic
On the way home from my job
Now I get to listen to the radio
With the air conditioner on
I get to set up equipment on stage
And play music for the dreams I chase
Saying I get to instead of I have to
Helped me change the game

Saying I get to instead of I have to
Helped me change the game

Saying I get to instead of I have to
Helped me change the game
