The Bright Side

7:00AM and time is slipping Hurry to work before boss starts flipping Brush your teeth, and wash your face On the way out, make sure to miss a shoelace 7:15AM and time is slipping Run to the car with forehead sweat dripping Don’t think too much, just step on the gas And forget seatbelts, the car is already 40% fibreglass 7:30AM and time is slipping Slam the horn and curse with head spinning The traffic is terrible and slow Why it even occurs would be nice to know 7:45AM and time is slipping Maybe it is simply time for job quitting Life is so horrible there is no compare Bad luck just seems to happen everywhere 8:00AM and time is stopping Slow down and realize that life is not so depressing Look on the sunny and bright side You should really be feeling joy and pride Notice the puffy white clouds floating in the sky Just like the marshmallows you always wanted to try Notice the wind gently blowing through the trees Accompanied by colourful flowers and buzzing bees Notice the sound of the ocean tide Ready to be heard by all worldwide Notice the brilliance of lightning With the cry of thunder equally frightening Notice your lungs taking in oxygen with every breath Not doing so will result in death Notice the beating of your heart Pumping blood until it has become a fine art Life should be appreciated and treasured It doesn’t need achievements to be measured Life is a long term trend of difficulties with progress Believing this will result in true success Don’t be forever chained Time has changed Look on the bright side Life is yours to decide
