Story Behind The Song
I'm working at a day job that is killing my soul. I wrote this song on the way home one day, to give myself and others hope that we can get out of dismal routines and fill our lives with joy doing what we love. At any age!

Lyrics
Do you ever feel like life is passing you by?
You're a hamster in a wheel just trying to keep up with the times?
And everyone else seems to be getting it right
Except for you... What should you do?
CHORUS
Shake it up, shake it up
Remember your dreams
Shake it up, shake it up
It's easier than it seems
Shake it up, shake it up
Follow your heart
It's never too late to do what you love
Shake it up
Do you ever ask yourself what you really want to do?
And I mean from your heart, not from your head, not a "should"
When you were a child what made you smile, made you feel good?
Do that again, it could be your calling
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Time just disappears when you do what you are here to do
It's meaningful and it's natural (oh so natural)
You've been sleeping half your life
Now open up your eyes
Take in what makes you special
Just do it, shake it, shake it
CHORUS
