There's Gotta Be Something More...

SUGARLAND LYRICS
"Something More"

Monday, hard to wake up
Fill my coffee cup, I'm out the door
Yeah, the freeway's standing still today
It's gonna make me late, and thats for sure
I'm running out of gas and out of time
Never gonna make it there by nine

[Chorus:]
There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more

Five years and there's no doubt
That I'm burnt out, I've had enough
So now boss man, here's my two weeks
I'll make it short and sweet, so listen up
I could work my life away, but why?
I got things to do before I die

[Repeat Chorus]

Some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate
I believe that happiness is something we create
You best believe that I'm not gonna wait'
Cause there's gotta be something more

I get home 7:30 the house is dirty, but it can wait
Yeah, 'cause right now I need some downtime
To drink some red wine and celebrate
Armageddon could be knocking at my door
But I ain't gonna answer that's for sure.
There's gotta be something!

[Repeat Chorus]



This really spoke to me to the point where I decided to take it to the next level. I have heard this song a number of times and every time I would "rock out" whether I was in the car, the office or at home. "There's got to be something more!" Man isn't that the truth. I don't believe we were all here to wake up every Monday morning to sit on the freeway and go to a job that doesn't "serve" us heart and soul.

There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than thisI need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something

Who ever said we have to work "hard", we HAVE to work up the corporate ladder, we HAVE to do this for 30, 40, 50, 60 YEARS in HOPES of retiring with a gold watch. We DON'T HAVE to do anything we don't want to…everyday you have a CHOICE. You have a CHOICE to make the decisions you make about your OWN life. It isn't about what your parents/spouse/friends think you should do, when it comes down to it, it only matters at the end of the day what you CHOOSE to do. Once you are happy with your choices and decisions everyone else will see that is what really works best for you.

"Some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate

I believe that happiness is something we create
You best believe that I'm not gonna wait
'Cause there's gotta be something more"

So what do you believe? Do you create your own destiny? Do you feel that you can change the course of your day by just stopping, taking a look at if this is how you want your day to proceed or if you want it to be different? For example, your day is going well, someone makes a comment that turns your mood and then you are negative the rest of the time. Did you know that if you just stop, take a look at yourself and realize that you can change your attitude back to the day being wonderful? YOU make that choice. It doesn't matter what other people say or do to or around you. CHOOSE for yourself how you want your life to be. LET IT GO! Let all the anger, hate, disgust go! I guarantee you; you will feel so much "lighter". You will flow through your world vs. being stuck and rigid wondering why everyone and everything is not going your way.

It's time to take 100% Responsibility for your actions.

I look forward to seeing each and everyone of you soar!
