Red Yellow Purple Or Blue
If you had a choice
Which would you choose
Red or yellow
Purple or blue
Your choice indicates
Happy or sad
Do you wake up each day
Feeling good or bad
Do as I do
When I first open my eyes
Say to myself
Today is a prize
The smell of the dew
On the new mown grass
The sun shining brightly
The shadows it casts
A wonderful feeling
The fresh morning air
The world's your oyster
A life without care
This is the way
Life's meant to be lived
Forget all your troubles
The headaches they give
You'll find there are days
Much harder than some
Keep your eye on the prize
Till the sadness is done
Tomorrow's are bright
And shiny, full of hope
Laugh at the world
Tell yourself a good joke
It's worked for me
For many long years
It'll work for you
Just shoo way your fears
If you had a choice
Which would you choose
Red or yellow
Or purple or blue
