What Would It Take

Oh my heart what would it take to keep you in a happy state? Would it take a rainbow or perfectly aligned stars The rivers that flow with bounty or the mountains that stand afar Would it take a thousand flowers to bloom to pull you out of the gloom And fill you up with the colors of life so you could forget the strife Then, in the whispers of the wind And the sweet murmurs of the trees at night I slowly hear my heart speak and it says what I knew it might Don’t wait for the world to adorn your soul With things you find in a mart Or hope for that someone to come To fix your ailing heart You crave for things so your heart can rejoice But my dear, feeling good is only a choice Fill your heart with happiness Because it’s just a state of mind Take your mind off of the bad Leave all the worries behind Focus on the good Take your attention, back to where it could And when you know your heart is truly happy You will find the things that you should.
