Change is the biggest adventure we can dream about.
Used to be by Odin Roark Use to be He poured his own coffee Clung a lot to the past Used to be He scored below average in school But that was only grades Used to be He couldn’t afford to fill his tank But that was just a car Used to be Low bank balance always cost him a fee But that was only money Used to be His woman left his cup half empty But that was about growing up Used to be His flesh ruled it all But that was ‘cause his mind was asleep Use to be He poured his own coffee But discovery tends to him now “Your cup’s only half full” “Yeah I know Ain’t it beautiful”
