Stand up, stand up for the first time in your life
Don’t you wanna paint a life outside the lines?
Come down, from your glass house on the hill
And think back upon the truth you used to live
Your charge, peppered with the pain of life’s pitfalls
She asked me are you gonna heed or pass the call?
My love, my love is gonna change the world someday
You can read it in the web of stars she said
You gotta make it better for yourself
You gotta make it, you gotta make it…
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind, baby
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind, baby
The years, they pulled the wanderlust out of my head
Said I don’t need it now that I’m a man
But my past, spent away singing songs with a band
I only spoke my mind with my guitar in hand, and I thought…
You gotta make it better for yourself
You gotta make it, you gotta make it…
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind, baby
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind, baby
Born in the heart, deep in a barren land, I was left all alone
Drifting all around, skipping back and forth from city to towns
My thoughts were my radio
But now I’m grown, no more adventure to show
Long gave up my boyhood code
‘til a gypsy woman looked me straight in the eye and peered into my soul
She said ‘Damn boy, you’ve already wasted plenty of time in your life,
You know what you need, get that guitar back in your mind’s eye.
Cause this is the game, it’s getting better everyday.'
This is the game, it's getting better everyday
This is the game, it's getting better everyday
This is the game, it's getting better everyday
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind, baby
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind baby
