Lyrics

Ready to ChangeWritten at Cataumet, Gosnold on Cape Cod December 2015
Wild hope, desperate fear, never stopping to ask why I'm still hereI seek the truth but the truth lied to meTake these scales from my eyes so now I can see
Are you ready to changeI don’t know howAre you ready to changeLet’s do it now
Asking for help can be hardDealing with addiction’s deck of cardsLord knows I've had enough Please remove these liquid handcuffsI’m so tired of hurting the ones that I love. Surrender myself and rise above
Chorus
Take off my mask, see what's behindThough I still fear what I might findI’m scared to change afraid of what I’ll see. I need to take the chance to set myself free.
Chorus
Start the climb to the top, ain't admitting defeatdon't forget to breathe get back up on my feet, feel myself changing hour by hourAsking for help God grant me the power
Are you ready to changeI don’t know howAre you ready to changeLet’s do it now X2
I’m ready to change. Now I know how. gonna break these chainsthe time is now.
