Grateful
Any day
That the Sun,
For me
Rises!
I will leave days lived alone.
A new day has been born.
And forward I move on.
Those yesterdays are gone.
Any day...
I wish to say,
I am...
Grateful!
To leave days left alone.
A new day has been born.
And forward I move on.
Those yesterdays are gone.
My eyes search desperately with clarity to see,
Where I can plant seeds.
And do good deeds to please.
I will live a life that's happy.
I will live a life in peace.
All the days,
That the Sun rises...
I will be grateful!
To be able to pick happy,
On my face and back to carry.
All the days,
That the Sun rises...
I will be grateful!
To be able to pick happy,
On my face and back to carry.
To be able to pick happy,
On my face and back to carry.
To be able to pick happy,
On my face and back to carry.
All the days,
That the Sun rises
I will be grateful!

Be Grateful
We always have something
to be grateful for,
our family and friends
whom enrich our lives
with their words of kindness
and their deeds of unconditional love.
We may at times be low in spirit,
feel we cannot carry on,
but we are grateful for the person
who will put sunshine in our lives.
Raise our sprits with their words
and plant a smile on our face.
Being grateful comes with no obligations
except to treat another
in a similar way.
Give them a lift in their lives,
plant a smile on their face,
then we will be grateful for
the good that we can do.
We should never turn away
that little cry for help,
but be grateful that they came to us
to help them through their crisis.
Hoping one day,
they might do the same for us.

Gone are the days
My days of happiness are gone
Im feeled with days of sadness
Ive got days of gloom.
I lived my life happy once upon a time.
Now I live life sad.
My feelings awol and my emotios numb
Now gone are the good days
Replaced by the bad ones.
I ve lost my love for life.
I hate the fight.
The happy days wont return yet
They wont come back any time soon.
Those days are long gone

Not Happy
I am upset,
Can't think,
Can't be happy,
Everything seems like its crashing down at me all at once,
All people have ever done is bash at me and bring me down,
They all have the best of of me,
I am not happy when I can't even be happy for myself,
I can't even think when there is nothing to think about,
All I ever do is help people out,
All they can do is throw back at my face,
I don't want to live no more,
I came across this path once before but honestly I don't think I can hurt myself for others mistakes,
I just want this all to end once and for all,
I feel like I am falling down,
When there is no one to catch me,
I just need to get back up and be not afraid,
Pick up all the broken pieces and let my dad in,
No more tears,
No more sorrow,
Just let it all go,
Let it all out,
Maybe I can be happy once more.

Day 1
Happy days!
Days of fun
Days of shine
Days of sun
Happy days!
Days I won
Days I earned
Today has just begun
Happy days!
Days I dread
To wake up
With a burning head
Happy days!
For which I wait
With furnished fear
And hollow hate.
Whatever It Is
Whatever It is that I am thanking...
And however It knows what It does.
I am grateful to have It know my existence!
Grateful that It enters my heart and my soul,
Grateful that It knows!
Whatever It is that forgets and forgives...
And removes stumbling blocks from my life as I live.
Whatever It is before language came to be,
In my mind I carry It...
And in 'It' It carries me!
Whatever It is that I am thanking...
And however It knows what It does.
I am grateful to have It know my existence!
Grateful that It enters my heart and my soul,
Grateful that It knows!
Grateful It knows whatever It is...
So grateful It knows It within me grows!

Grateful
I carry you up in my arms
Hear you sing yourself to sleep
The sky opens up over your room
You sail into your moonlight dreams
Theres so much more than we can see
Theres so much more than we can see
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
Grateful, oh grateful
I play this guitar, sing these songs
It changes me, instantly
Love is too simple a word
For here comes the sun in the morning
Suddenly happiness
Comes rolling out from inside me
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
Grateful, oh grateful
I carry you up in my arms
Hear you sing yourself to sleep
The sky opens up over your room
You sail into your moonlight dreams
Theres so much more than we can see
Theres so much more than we can see
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
Grateful, oh grateful
(all we are and all we need is)
(all we are and all we need is...)

Pick A Fight
I can't be happy without you
You can't be happy without me
Still you always wanna pick a fight now
You say it's written in the stars
Some psychic read it in my cards
Still you always wanna pick a fight with me
You say that I'm the only one
The one you're looking for
Try and keep a straight face when you laugh
You talk to me like I'm a saint
But all your friends just say
We have been so over for some time
And I know that you had the best intentions for me
I know that what you're saying is goodbye
I can't be happy without you
You can't be happy without me
Still you always wanna pick a fight now
You say it's written in the stars
Some psychic read it in my cards
Still you always wanna pick a fight with me
You say you changed your mind again
You don't know how you feel
Give me some more time is what you say
You wanna use me like a toy
That you get bored with
Now you wanna store me far away
And I know that you had the best intentions for me
I know that what you're saying is goodbye...goodbye
I can't be happy without you
You can't be happy without me
Still you always wanna pick a fight now
You say it's written in the stars
Some psychic read it in my cards
Still you always wanna pick a fight with me
I can't be happy without you
I can't be happy without me
Still you always wanna pick a fight with me
I can't be happy without you
I can't be happy without me
Still you always wanna pick a fight with me
You always say what you don't mean
You always say the things that hurt me
Why do you pick a fight with me?
You always say what you don't mean
You always say the things that hurt me
Why do you pick a fight
Why do you pick a fight
You always pick a fight with me

On And On (About You)
I'm happy again
To be stuck here again
And you're so happy again
To be stuck here again
Now we can rap about the good 'ol days
Laugh at dumb jokes that you make
It's great to be here and I'm just elated
To be someone you once hated
And it's all so complicated
Maybe this time you can come outside your little world
Makeout with another girl
If it were up to me I'd like to
Buy you flowers every day
Make every day a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you
And the things you do
The things you do
I'm so sorry again
You say you're leavin' me again
Cause you're not happy again
and i'm left stuck here again
Now you can scream about the little things
Slap me twice across the face
Man it would be great if I could
Buy you flowers every day
Make every day a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you
And the things you do
The things you do
(Alright)
If I could buy you flowers every day
Make every day a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you
And the things you do
Me gustaria comprar de flores cada dia
Hace cada dia una vacacion
Y habla mas y mas y mas de ti
De las cosas que haces
I just said I'd buy you flowers every day
Make every day a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you
And the things you do
The things you do....do....do....do....

Happy On The Shelf
Put me back! don't invest in me.
Im happy where i am you see
Put me down! where i was found
Move away, just turn around
Over-rated! I think youll find
Dont kill me off by being kind
Look over there! yes go and see
I am truly, very happy here
Dont look back! im not that good
Pick someone else you really should
Dont be fooled! you dont know best
Im happy in my little nest
Whats that! look sharp, just there
Lonely, anxious, and in need of care
Superb, ideal! they need a home
Take them inside your comfort zone
Seems odd I know! but very true
Im happy here, goodluck to you
Da Na De Nee! go enjoy yourself
Im really happy on the shelf!

Happy
Dont got a pretty girl who loves me alot
Dont got a fast car that looks real hot
Dont got a fine pad or stereo
And I dont do well in the school where I go, go, go, go, go
But Im happy, happy
Im happy though the world is upside down
Im happy that we all made it through another day
When I pick up the phone I still remember what to say
Im happy that my brain still lives inside my head
Most of all I think Im happy
Happy that I aint dead
I read the paper, I saw the news
All those people out there singin the blues
They get excited, why dont they just relax
All we got to do is kick back, back, back
And be happy, happy
Happy though the whole world is ready to blow
Im happy that I made it through another day
When I pick up the phone I still remember what to say
Im happy that my brain still lives inside my head
Most of all I think Im happy
Happy that I aint dead
I know a guy with plenty of loot
Youd never catch him in a two dollar suit
Hes got gold chains, plenty of rings
He told me money, it dont mean a thing, dont mean a thing
If you aint happy, happy
Happy though the whole world is upside down
Be happy that you made it through another day
When you pick up the phone you still remember what to say
Be happy that your brain still lives inside your head
Most of all I think Im happy.....
Im happy
Im happy though the whole thing is ready to blow
Be happy that the sun has rised up again
That somewhere in this world I still got a friend
Be happy that the big one, it hasnt dropped yet
Be happy that you still got something
Something, something to forget
Im happy
(Im happy, so happy)

Hey
I'm counting the days until you leave
You're not going make me fall down
I'm happy the day is finally here
So you better off not come around here
You better off leaving here
Hey
I'm having fun and party without you
I'm happy and better off without you baby
I'm done with you
I'm not going back there
I found someone else who treat me right
Hey
I'm getting back at you
I'm not going to talk to you
Summer is here
Now you are gone
I'm excited and all relief
So don't come back
You better off leaving here
I give you too many chances
So you better get out of my way
Hey
I don't need you anymore
I feel fine when you left
I'm back to myself
I'm able to do what I want again
Can you see that?
I'm able to live without you
I'm going let you hand there
You will know how I feel
Hey
I'm going turn around and walk away
So bye forever and I don't want to see you anymore
I'm counting days until you leave
You're not going make me fall down
I'm happy day is finally here
So you better off not come around
You better off leaving here
Hey
I'm having fun and party
Without you
Hey

Time Of Life
Time of Life
Precious, endless, unstoppable, time.
Days turn to nights
Todays into yesterdays.
What is, was and what could be, is.
Take time to live your life in full
Take time to smell a flower
Take time to pick up a child
Take time to play
Take time to laugh, and sadly enough
Time to cry.
Your future will soon be your past
Your past just a memory.
So do not try to stop time
For you will only stop yourself
From living at your fullest
Take time to bundle up your losses
And
Turn them into gains
Without ever looking back at what was.
And be so grateful that you do have that time
…The time of life.

Join us be in flame and live

Glad and mired
For today Im dreamin of

When The Calm Comes Back Again
WHEN THE CALM COMES BACK AGAIN
When the calm comes back again
After days of anxiety and stress-
When things at last seem going the right way
After a long time of disorder-
When one is simply quiet and happy inside again
And looking forward to whatever is to come-
When the calm comes back again
How blessed and happy and easy life is-
And what a tremendous relief also.

Stop Lookin Back
Stuck in the county jail,
Nobody here gonna pay my bail.
Thirty days with a smelly drunk,
A turn-key callin me a dirty punk.
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin back.
And Ive got to move straight ahead, stop lookin back.
Chorus
Shoot for the stars when my eyes cant see the starlight.
Reach for the sun in the night.
Stop lookin back at the times I was defeated,
I pick myself up, I move straight ahead, I stop lookin back.
Stranded! nothing worse.
Im livin on coffee, I got an empty purse.
Im dreamin bout blue eyes lookin my way,
Hopin my dreams dont blow away.
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin back.
And Ive got to move straight ahead, stop lookin back.

God Only Knows
Sitting around in chats,
With those looking back...
At those 'good ole days',
Are not scenes I welcome.
Since those days I lived,
Back then 'when'...
I remember mostly as unpleasant.
To rate those days,
I would say...
Good to the riddence of them.
Not that I didn't have 'some' good times.
I do remember some of them.
But where would I put them,
On a scale of 'good and plenty'?
Some I 'weeded' through...
With beer or a glass of wine.
At other moments,
I was losing family and friends.
And attending their funerals...
Numbed and in denial.
Crying...
Home alone.
I now have my peace of mind.
And a life I can declared,
Has more happiness...
After spending most of it in despair.
Some may say,
Today I display an air of arrogance.
And that is okay!
Since God only knows,
How grateful I am...
To be breathing any air at all!
And deluded by the bliss.
