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.
