The Better Side
I go to sleep and wake up in the same day
But I'm loving my life
I wouldn't change a thing
Chasing a toddler and chasing dreams
College full time
Finding myself in between
Bad days - no sleep
Doesn't define where we want to be
It happens, sometimes life sucks
You have to smile anyways
And buck up, because when
You get lost in the traffic of your mind
It's hard to slow down, all you can do is try
Because if you crash
You can't rewind time and take it all back
So live for right now
Stop
And see
Do what you feel is right
And be free
You'll get judged either way
So go with your heart and
Let it blaze your own path, and ideas
It doesn't have to fit into the way society feels
Dance, and sing
Feel the weight of the world
Melt off your shoulders
And when you can
Give love to one another
Getting caught up in yourself
Closes the door to what life is all about
Seeing others pain and lending a hand
So shake it off
It'll pay off in the end
The love we give heals our own wounds
And the vibes we send could light up a room
When we try to see
The better side
It's not all about me, it's not all about me.
Yeah, you get hurt
You get burned
But becoming bitter
Isn't the way to turn
Keep your eyes open
Your mind free
One step at a time and
We'd all feel complete
It may seem like a simple plan
But some day our sons and daughters will understand
When they grow up and realize
The whole world will pass you by
If you only live for yourself, caught up in your own mind
You have to escape and make time
Not just for yourself
But for the people in your life
Family or strangers
We're one in the same
Treat everyone like they mean everything
It'll all do us good
I know it's hard to balance baby
But you've got to stay strong
It's not all about me, no it's not all about me.
Be positive and
Set yourself free
There's more to life
Than our daily routine
I'm only one woman
With a simple dream
For us all to give love
And feel relieved
It could all come true
Just take the time to try to see through others eyes
You may be the one standing on
The better side
So lend a hand
Take a stand
Turn your back
To the bitterness
Let us all heal ourselves through love.
