about

*** I will donate any net proceeds from any downloads of this song on Bandcamp for one year to McDougall Recovery House. ***

This story really is what I went through when I started my previous career as a Financial Advisor. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED working in an office and creating investment portfolios, but boy, can time become a struggle real quick. If I was not careful, it could have got the best of me and zapped some of the fun out of life. I challenge you to grab time by the .... and take control.

lyrics

Slap to the snooze again and again
Til I finally make myself roll out of bed
Shower, then coffee, to open my eyes
Good lord willing, I’ll make it on time
Do my hair and makeup, iron my suit
This girls gotta do what this girls gotta do
One more cup for the car and I’m on my way
Hoping the traffic won’t ruin my day

Doing this dance I don’t wanna do
There’s gotta be another way to make it on through

Can I break this pattern of rushed and scattered
And learn to enjoy the ride
If I quit finding fault in all the curve balls
Will time be on my side

Arrive at the workplace with time to spare
Chat with the gang I’m already prepared
Husband calls - has the dog been fed?
Did I even kiss him before I left?
Out of the blue calls come in, change the day
Making chaos of all I had arranged
Troubled kids, cranky clients, all on my plate
All of my early is now running late


Doing this dance I don’t wanna do
There’s gotta be another way to make it through

Can I break this pattern of rushed and scattered
And learn to enjoy the ride
If i quit finding fault in all the curve balls
Will time be on my side

I find my magic, my secret sauce
Now I’m in charge, yeah I’m the boss
Change and challenge go hand and hand
Instead of stumbling now I live to dance

So I make a new pattern that’s not rushed or scattered
I’ll kick back and enjoy ride
I laugh at it all, even the curve ball
Cause time is on my side
Yeah time is on my side

Gail T as Charged Edmonton, Alberta

I'm in the process of reinventing myself as a songwriter and musician.

After a quarter of a century in the financial world, I was dreaming of a second calling. I didn't start this new journey until shortly before I turned 60, so sometimes it feels like I'm in a race with the clock! Then, I realize I'm having so much fun that it's all good. I would love to use my music to generate social messages. ... more
