A Different View

​"A Different View" is about taking back control of your own happiness. It’s about that moment when you decide to stop carrying the weight of yesterday’s rain and the heavy expectations of others. It reminds us that while we can’t always change the world or the weather, we have the absolute power to change our perspective.
By washing away the troubles and choosing to look at life through a fresh lens, we find that the beauty and freedom we were looking for were there all along. It’s about doing things your own way, ignoring the critics, and embracing a brand new day with a brand new mindset.

​"Happiness is the ultimate act of defiance. In a world that loves to sell us fear and misery, waking up and choosing to smile is a revolution. You can't control the weather, but you can control where you look. Wash the dust off your soul, ignore the voices that say you can't, and pave your own road. Sometimes, all it takes to change your life is to simply see a different view."

Think I'm going to be
happy today
oh, I'm going to wash
the troubles away
yeah, think I am going
to start a new day
looking the other way

The morning light
is breaking
on the window pane
I’m washing off
the memory
of the heavy rain

I used to carry
every burden
every single stone
walking through
the crowded street
but feeling all alone
But something shifted
in the spirit
something in the mind

I’m leaving all the heavy
baggage far behind
the water clears the dust
and clears the weary eyes
I’m ready for the opening
of the blue skies
​
Think I'm going to be
happy today
oh, I'm going to wash
the troubles away
yeah, think I am going
to start a new day
looking the other way

Yeah, don't care
what they say
I'm going to do things
my way
and see a different view
yeah, a brand new hue
​
They try to put you in a box
and tell you how to be
but I am swimming in the river
of the wild and free

The voices of the critics
are just buzzing in the air
I shake them off my shoulders
like I just don't care

I’m finding beauty
in the places
that I missed before
opening up the lock
upon the secret door

The path is winding
and long
but I’m walking
with a steady stride
enjoying every moment
of the crazy ride
​
Turn around
stand your ground
change the sight
find the light

It’s all in the mind
seek and you find

(Look at it now)
​
Think I'm going to be
happy today
oh, I'm going to wash
the troubles away
yeah, think I am going
to start a new day
looking the other way

A different view
for me and you
wash it away
start a new day

My way

Yeah
I see it now
a different view
