Words and Music by Craig Benelli
© 2009 Eighty Minute Music/ASCAP
I am here so I can have my story heard
About the difference I am making in the world
In my day to day nine to five
I’m holding hands holding lifetimes
Looking in their eyes
(I know that I’m)
CHORUS
Changing Lives
Changing Lives
Changing Lives
For the better for the better
Changing Lives

Changing Lives
For the better for the better
(Changing Lives)
I don’t care much for crowns or accolades
Any fortune I would gladly sell or trade
For every tear and smile
In the lives I made worthwhile
Through every stage and mile
(They know that I’m)
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You’ve found a place to call home
Welcome to the place you call home
In the evening of their lives
Our mission is their right
For the care they deserve
Because they come first
That’s the vision we hold in sight
