Be Happy
I’ve been living in fear
No room for second-thought cheer
My mind’s a wandering deer
When will I wake from this nightmare?
Bittersweet envy
[Be happy]
Won’t let me be free
[Be happy]
Let’s all be happy
You be you and I be me
I lay in bed in utter dread
Be still, healing is near
Anxiety was my killer med
‘til I found that there is no fear
I won’t feel bad
I won’t feel sad
Anymore, I swore
For the one I adore
Had nights I couldn’t sleep
My eyes no need to weep
For tears they always seep
Into memories so deep
Bittersweet envy
[Be happy]
Won’t let me be free
[Be happy]
Let’s all be happy
You be you and I be me
I lay in bed in utter dread
Be still, healing is near
Anxiety was my killer med
‘til I found that there is no fear
I won’t feel bad
I won’t feel sad
Anymore, I swore
For the one I adore
So will you take my hand
I know you understand
And we can see the night
In a different light
I won’t feel bad
I won’t feel sad
Anymore, I swore
For the one I adore
I won’t feel bad
I won’t feel sad
Anymore, I swore
For the one I adore
I won’t feel bad
I won’t feel sad
Anymore, I’m yours
You’re the one I adore
~This is a special collaboration David and I are still working on. Guitar and vocals. May implement some piano chords eventually. It has been fun. I give most of the credit regarding the lyrics to my brother (JW Earnings on poetrysoup ) 8)
