change your mind

Another song whose lyrics really hit me. This came out when I was going through some rough, rough times...I was having to question pretty much everything I believed about life, love, myself, my priorities, how much to lose myself to keep someone else happy [not to mention how much I'd already *lost* of myself]. I was struggling with how to reset myself, start over, change how I approached things; I was worried I would never trust again, be loved again.

So the chorus of this really, really hit home...

Sister Hazel
"Change Your Mind"

Hey, Hey
Did you ever think
There might be another way
To just feel better,
Just feel better about today

Oh no-
If you never want to have
To turn and go away
You might feel better,
Might feel better if you stay

[pre-chorus]
Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard
A word I've said
Yeah yeah

If you've had enough
Of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in:

[chorus]
If you want to be somebody else,
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind...

Hey hey-
Have you ever danced in the rain
Or thanked the sun
Just for shining- just for shining
Or the sea?

Oh no- take it all in
The world's a show
And yeah, you look much better,
Look much better when you glow

[pre-chorus/chorus]

Hey hey-
what ya say
We both go and seize the day
'cause what's your hurry
what's your hurry anyway

[pre-chorus/chorus]
