Let's All Try Harder

Been feeling out of it lately Weather's a factor but it's more than that Seems my upbeat manner is starting to sag The world's in a mess, a very sad fact It's not unusual, been like this forever It's been the human condition since year one We expect if everyone tries extra hard We once again make life fun A bunch of dreamers, that's what we are But dreaming sure won't make it so As hard as we try, it's the human condition What else can we do, I dunno Perhaps if we wake up with a smile on our face And live in our own little world It surely won't be a revolutionary approach But will keep life from becoming unfurled

Possible? It would take an unprecedented effort by all of mankind! Hmmm! Guess it's better than totally giving in! Think positive... it's a start! :)
