Sometimes the world will cry
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes the rain will wash away
The hurt, the anger and the pain
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes I need to say
I’ll cry but only for today
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
My heart goes out saying
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday.
Your time with me has passed away
Still on this day I say
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday.
Memories are such they stay
Playing in my head, singing
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday.
I’ll follow my route, my path
Knowing you’re alongside me
And on this day, I’ll turn and say
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday.

Nothing really happens until I decide to live the life given
No one else is responsible for anything of mine
My part must be played
Paramount above everything.
Look to yourself
Look within, inside
Answers are there
Waiting to be tried.

Everything is quiet
Everything is nice
But
Everything is not ok
Everything can’t be nice
Hold the past in your arms
Embrace the future
With unprecedented charm
Then
Everything is ok
Everything is without harm
Live the present
Moving thru the past
Holding the future in a grip
That will forever last
Yes
Everything is quiet
Everything can last.

Stay for the day
Don’t wander, falter in anyway
Sacrifice your heartache
Throw out those that naysay
Stay in the hour
In the moment
Every second, everyday
For all time
Today.

Whatever happens maybe extreme
It doesn’t mean
I have to accept it or labour beneath it’s screams
Of hurt, anger and unnecessary demeans.

Calm has come
Stopped the siege
No one knows
Nor cares why.
Bow my head
Hear it now
Blending
Softness into song.
To the world
Nothing’s changed
Yet I know nothing
Will be the same.

Definitely
Going to save the day
Definitely
Going to remember it well
Definitely
Going to savour every piece of it
Definitely
Going to live it
And
Definitely
Going to harbour
Its wondrous thoughts as well.

Here in the bright sunlight my presence glows.
Be aware that we’re all one of a kind and all we need to exist. ~ Patrice
