I hear the rushing water
I feel the soft breeze on my skin
It’s so quiet I hear footsteps
Birds chirp on a sunny day
They detect somethings are no right
and they don’t have to be
In my mind I think happy thoughts
In my lifetime there’s only one life to live
So don’t waste it on the sad things
So…
Think happy
Think strong
don’t think wrong
