Big Boy Pants

It’s time to pull up my big boy pants,
Cause God has given me another chance,
To stop and see that I am,
Blessed more than many a man.

It’s easy to cry and whine,
I’ve done it time after time,
That things are not as good as they should,
Forgetting they are not as bad as they could. 

Suck it up and pull my head out of my ass,
What I think is trouble will pass,
Shut up and see what is real,
Not what I think or what I feel.
