My Little Bag of Joy

In this road we call life
I carry with me sunshine,
To spread joy from the deepest sea
to the distant skyline.

When feeling down, not making a sound
I open up my purse,
I peek inside, and Lo! and Behold!
My bad feelings disperse.

When the grayest rain-cloud flies over my head
and brings a heavy storm,
I open my bad and Voila!
That rain can't do me any harm!

When the lights go out, I'm timid as a mouse
And all hope seems to be gone
I let out my light and open my eyes
to see the beautiful dawn.

In this road we call life
I carry with me sunshine, 
To spread joy from the deepest sea
to the distant skyline.

I Carry With Me: Sunshine
