Happy Anyway

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...

Words on the Wall

  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...

Be That

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

Work of Art

 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...
