Well life goes by a little too fast I tried to hit the brakes but I musta hit the gas 'Cause all my dreams have long since past But I can be happy anyway The sun didn't shine on my parade I didn't always make the grade Here I lie in the bed I made But I can be happy anyway 'Cause if I smile or if I frown The world keeps spinning 'round and 'round Through it all one thing I've found I can be happy anyway I filled my life with so much junk There's no room left in the trunk And my ship comin' in  Well it musta sunk But I can be happy anyway Mistakes I made along the way Help to shape who I am today  That's the reason I can say  I can be happy anyway 'Cause if I smile or if I frown The world keeps spinning 'round and 'round Through it all one thing I've found I can be happy anyway Chances are it's been too long Since you heard a cheerful song So you might as well just sing along 'Cause you can be happy anyway 'Cause joy is...

  On a cold winter's day they led him away Where death would wait The glare of their stares made him aware  Their hearts were full of hate He didn't even know, a reason for it all But when all was gone, even family and home He wrote these words on the wall I believe in the sun when it's not shining I believe in love, when I can't feel it I believe in God even when he is silent I still believe. I still believe. Ain't it strange how life can change  In a moment of time A sudden burst and a cloud of dust Leaves us wondering why I don't pretend to know a reason for it all In times like these, I find my relief  In the words on the wall I believe in the sun when it's not shining I believe in love, when I can't feel it I believe in God even when he is silent I still believe. I still believe. On the coldest day, in the darkest night When there is nothing left, and nothing's right I believe in the sun when it's not shining I believe in love, when I can...

I have a tendency to envy people that I know Some folks I know live inside my head I feel too ashamed to say their names Some things are best left unsaid My mind seems programmed to compare What I do with those who do it best If I let myself stay in there I'd prob'ly drink myself to death I can never be that;  be that as it may I have something inside that I just have to say I can never be that; be that as it may I have something inside and I'll die, u nless I give it away I have something inside and I'll die, unless I give it away A voice tells me I'm not enough A voice tells me I don't measure up A voice tells me just give it up I say enough is enough I may never be that;  be that as it may I have something inside that I just have to say I may never be that; be that as it may I have something inside and I'll die, u nless I give it away I have something inside and I'll die, unless I give it away

 An artist with your brush in hand A maestro before the band I'll never, never understand How you brush the strokes  And guide the notes That make my life a work of art For I am your child and your working for my good Even when I don't do things exactly as I should You're painting your glory on the canvas of my heart I'm your living masterpiece I'm your work of art A planner, there's nothing left to chance A lover pursuing romance A dancer, and you've asked me to dance I say yes Please take this mess Make it a work of art For I am your child and your working for my good Even when I don't do things exactly as I should You're painting your glory on the canvas of my heart I'm your living masterpiece I'm your work of art Who am I to tell you What colors you should use Life's full of reds and yellows As well as greens and blues And when it seems my life is being torn apart I rest in knowing, you finish what you start For I am your child and yo...

  If I were you and you were me There the two of us would be Standing on the inside looking out I would know and you would too What the words and attitudes  Are really all about Really all about I think we would find The same questions trouble our minds Years we've wasted  And fears we've tasted  Are of such a similar kind We're in this life together There are storms we all weather I believe we'd be the better If we let our guard down And secrets were found out As the masks hit the ground We all cry out I am not alone..... I am not alone ...... I am not alone I've got a mean little menace trapped in the walls of my senses I drive myself plumb senseless  When I try to please him  I've tried to drink it away I've fallen to my knees and prayed Sometimes I just want to say I don't know how to beat him  I think we would find The same questions trouble our minds Years we've wasted  And fears we've tasted  Are of such a similar kind We're in this li...

It's strange what sights and sounds seep through the sifter Starring center stage on the silver screen of my mind And it's streaming all the time Sure makes it hard to unwind Dazed and deluded just a daydreaming drifter Drifting towards destruction like a silent waterfall I can barely hear you call And I sure can't make sense of it all Lord, I love this life I'm living, but I'm not sure I can keep it up Feels like I'm fooling everyone I meet And as strange as it sounds I sorta like being down 'Cause people don't ask too much of me Tantalizing, mesmerizing, agonizing song I can hardly wait until the curtain call It's been a long time since the fall And I sure can't make sense of it all Lord, I love this life I'm living, but I'm not sure I can keep it up Feels like I'm fooling everyone I meet And as strange as it sounds I sorta like being down 'Cause people don't ask too much of me People Don't ask too much of me
