When you start the day
Thinking life is a drag
Dreading work
Your spirits will sag

Is this your choice
Is this your fate
What are you to do
In a world consumed by hate

Worrying all day
About what’s to come
You never see why
You feel so glum

When you leave the present
To serve loftier notions
Your body is empty
Just going through the motions

Instead of seeing everything
As if it were new
You’ll never believe what you’ve missed
If only you knew

It shouldn’t matter
What you choose to do
Loving everyone
Should be a part of you

No matter your occupation
Your colour, your creed
Love is something
That we all need

So reach out and help
You have nothing to fear
Help those close to you
So they don’t shed a tear

We all wonder
What we can change
When we’re so confused
That everything seems strange

You don’t understand
The power you hold
To turn crumpled hearts
Into polished gold

Sometimes all we need
Is the flash of your smile
Shining like the rays of the sun
In the eyes of a child

To brighten our day
Help our spirits take flight
Let us wash away the gray
And illuminate the night
