When you’re downhearted and times are trying
and you can’t catch a break though you try your best,
don’t let it keep you down.
That will just make your friends depressed.
So put on a smile, for just ‘round the bend,
you’ll find it all works out in the end.
Life brings us joy, and life brings us pain,
each moment a precious gift from On High.
Some things you lose and some you gain;
some make you laugh and some make you cry.
Try to remember that time is your friend,
because it all works out in the end.
So cheer up! Forget all your fears
and to your Maker, only praises sing.
You know not the number of your years.
They fly away as if they had wings.
Time the greatest gift ever given
makes it all works out in the end.

Always busy, no time to reflect
on how you can uncover happiness.
Runnin’ all the time is just a disgrace.
It’s why your life is a mess.
Take the time to see the beauty all around you
even in the ugliness.
Often it’s not easy to be grateful
for both the rose and its thorns
while you are fleeing your dilemma
mindful of its horns.
All the same, you’ll find it true that you
see what you look for.
Be still
still alive
grateful
In the canyons of our choices
we may not find ourselves because we’re lost.
Try to cherish the learning in these journeys
not dwelling on the cost.
Love experience.
Experience love.

Train of Thought

The Train of Thought
needs a conductor
‘cause electricity makes it go
runs on tracks laid inside your head
take you places
you don’t wanna know
The Train of Thought
makes all the stops
all the way from fear to regret
Destination: tribulation
trouble at every station
keep askin’, “Are we there yet?”
Don’t wanna ride on
Train of thought
Wanna get off
Train of thought
Better jump off
Train of thought
Where do I get off
Train of thought
When you first board
The Train of Thought
to some good place you think it’s bound
You think next stop is Happy Town
but this train just goes round and round
Don’t get caught
on the Train of Thought
it could be the end of you
The location of each station
is in your imagination
Jumpin’ off is the best thing you could do

Fear and anger just ain’t where it’s at
if your struggle is to be free
Don’t listen to them voices in your head
trust what you see instead
Just tell them this:
Zukka Dacka Zukka Dacka
We all get our share of verbal abuse
but you don’t got to play.
No one wins that game anyway.
Can’t get out without looking lame.
May as well say,
Zukka Dacka Zukka Dacka
Listen, all you folks who think you know
zactly what it is we should do.
Where do you get off telling us?
Just who the hell are you?
Repeat after me:
