State Of Mind
Marcus Miller and Raul Midon Lyrics

Used to sit and worry about the future
I used to spend my time worrying about what will happen, but I learned that it is pointless because worrying does nothing to change the past.

Worrying about the future don't change the past
Focusing on the future and worrying about it won't change what has already happened in the past.

Used to think that tomorrow would be better
I used to believe that tomorrow would be a better day, but now I understand that I am doing my best and that is all that matters.

But now I know that I'm doing the best I can
After realizing that dwelling on the future won't help, I understand that I am doing everything in my power to make tomorrow a better day.

I'm just a man trying to find the reasons why I stand
I am a human being, constantly trying to understand why I am here and what my purpose is.

Took some time to realize that I am what I am
It took me a while to understand that I am who I am, and that's okay.

And I want to be rich, I want to be happy
I desire to have wealth and happiness in my life.

And live inside a love that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I yearn to experience love that is powerful enough to last throughout my entire life.

I want to be rich more than a fantasy
I don't want wealth to be just a dream, but rather a reality.

Ride the winds and climb, cause it's all a state of mind
I want to take advantage of the opportunities that come my way, because success is all about mindset.

Wake up in the morning and I turn the pages
I start each day with curiosity, eager to see what the day will bring.

Don't understand what's going down
I am confused and unsure of why things are happening the way they are.

Everybody's acting so outrageous
People around me are behaving in strange and unpredictable ways.

It's gonna take a lot of love to turn things around
To change the current situation, it is going to require a significant amount of love and compassion.

Hear people talk about going to heaven
I often hear people discussing the idea of an afterlife in heaven.

Grab a little bit of heaven right here on earth
I believe that one can find a piece of heaven here on earth through meaningful relationships and experiences.

Troubled times lead to healing times
During difficult periods, healing can take place and growth can occur.

I was sad now I'm feeling fine
I used to be unhappy, but now I am feeling good.

It's the taking and the giving that makes this life worth living,
The act of giving and receiving is what makes life meaningful and worthwhile.

I want to be rich, I want to be happy
I desire to have both wealth and happiness in my life.

Spread your wings and fly
Take risks and explore new opportunities.

Cause its all a state of mind
Success and happiness are determined by one's mentality and outlook on life.
