An On-Off Switch
Be it sunny or cloudy
The weather determines my mood
On a bright sunshiny morning
My mood is upbeat and cheery
And conversely on cloudy days
My mood is sombre and sad
I really wish this weren't true
I see people every day wearing big smiles
And I wonder if they have down days like me
I assume myself to be an average joe
But have forever questioned that
We really need an “on/off” switch
To control our emotions
But I recognize that's not about to happen
It is up to us to make the most of each day
And share as much joy and happiness
As we possibly can with our fellow man
EVERY SINGLE DAY
