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 our if we choose 

And if we don't well then we lose

So I refuse to turn it loose

'Cause 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

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

The Fall

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

I Am Not Alone

  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...
