This was the first thing I heard today, so rather than write anything of my own I thought I’d share the words with you.
These are the lyrics from the song “Change Your Mind” by the band Sister Hazel, a song that is always close at hand for me…and might be a good one for you to have at the ready as well.
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.
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.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 — over 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.
Hey, hey…what ya say we both go and seize the day?
‘Cause what’s your hurry? What’s your hurry anyway?
Yeah, yeah…I bet you haven’t heard a word I’ve said
Yeah, yeah…if you’ve had enough of all your trying’, just give up the state of mind you’re in.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.
If you want to see them perform a live version of it, you can watch it here.1
