about

Under the hum of florescent lights with defeat whispering sour nothings in Paula's ear, a co-worker rushed by and interrupted her thoughts. Just beneath the woman’s breath Paula heard her say “There’s got to be something better than this.” That’s when she was reminded that others needed the same impetus as she did to follow long forgotten dreams left on the shelf. Because life IS worth the risk!

lyrics

Waiting for change
Life's gotten dusty cause she
Settled for safe
But what she left on the shelf
Dreams to/change the world
She needs courage
to hold them again
Knowing life's worth the risk
"Cause

There's gotta be something better than this

She's weak from the pain
Of putting her hopes hold she
Reaches for change
When dust flies it's hard to see
Faith to change the world
But if she fails
Bhe'll try again knowing
Life's worth the risk

There's gotta be something better than this

Dreams deferred make the heart sick
It's like dust from a life un-lived
It's not what you get but what you give
To light the spark
And fan the flames to change the world

There's gotta be something better than this
