Lyrics: You say the game is getting old
Monday morning and your coffee’s cold
Life is not what you want it to be
You need another chance to be who you wanna be

You say that things don’t ever change
Tomorrow’s lookin’ just like today
You feel cheated by your circumstance
You can’t leave your life to chance

The time has come for you to go…

A new direction
A brand new day
A new direction
Things are gonna change
You can find the strength
To go a different way
The time has come for
A new direction

When you’ve lost your confidence
And the answers don’t make sense
You’ve got to keep your hope alive
You’ve got to know you can survive

This is your time to fly…

Repeat chorus

Bridge
Your dreams will take you places
You have never been before
Find your passion
Find your strength
Don’t worry anymore

Repeat Chorus

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
