Life

When the sun won't shine and sky is dark 
And the moon can't make a silver spark 
And negativity's surrounding me 
I won't shed a tear, let it be 

They can't take my happiness away 
They can't cap my heart in shades of gray 
When shouts are deafening like blow of horn 
I won't let my heart and soul be torn 

When minute minds sicken my mind to blow 
I won't let the dim souls take my glow 
I will row my boat to the end of streams 
I will let them hear my soaring screams

They can't take my happiness away 
They can't cap my heart in shades of gray 
Till the end of breath, I'll live my life 
I will dance the tides and tame the strife
