Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song in the year after I had survived a very bad car crash. The experience of that, just made me want to take it easy, enjoy some life and not worry and work so hard.
That's where this song came from.

Lyrics
The Softer side Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 2001
: I?ve been kicked around, my fair share.
I?ve kept on going even when I didn?t care.
Not it seems the time to roll up the mat,
Put down the pen, push back the chair.
Let myself out take a dare,
Stroll down the street and breathe the fresh air
Chorus:
I?m movin?, I?m movin?
To the Softer Side.
Can?t find the will to push and drive.
I?m just lucky to be alive.
My eyes are open, but I let it slide.
I?m movin? to the Softer Side.
Bridge:
Time does a funny thing,
Keeps on going on a wing,
And doesn?t care that I couldn?t keep up,
Stepped aside, dropped the ball,
Left the field, kicked the dust off my heels.
Oh if only, they say that?ll make ya crazy,
Say next time, next time.
