Out walking my dog; taking in the scene
Watching the world change
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen rabbits and squirrels
I've even seen a turtle in the middle of the road
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen birds in the trees; all kind of different species
I've seen a chipmunk in a roof gutter; I think he was laughing at me
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen shrubs and trees come alive
I've seen them peek with their beauty
Then I watched them die
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen people come and I've seen people go
How long they are here; you never know
I always try to make people happy
Help them forget about life and set their minds free
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

OK! OK! I'm awake
You come in here and put your fingers all over me
Some of you go rattling off like a machine gun
Some of you hit me so hard, I feel like I'm going to break
Then, there are those who two finger me to death
I feel like Rodney Dangerfield; how about some respect
Sincerely, your keyboard : )

PS. Thanks for the food crumbs but please keep your fingernails to yourself

Waves roll in; waves roll out
Waves roll in and leave treasures all about
seashells and shark teeth, a pretty piece of coral reef
Be quick to retrieve before it is washed back out to sea

Opportunities come and opportunities go
Be prepared; when they will come, you never know
If an opportunity is missed; it's OK
Like the sea and it's treasures; catch it on the next wave

I woke up before my alarm clock today
Got caught up on my sleep; it's starting off the right way
It's a good day; It's playing like a song

I started my car and turned the radio on
The radio was playing one of my favorite songs
It's a good day; It's playing like a song

Driving to work all the lights are staying green
Allowing me to cruise along and take in the scene
It's a good day; It's playing like a song

Got to work and saw friendly faces
Thank the Lord; I must be in good graces
It's a good day; It's playing like a song

The job had some up and downs
Problems got solved and I'm homeward bound
It's a good day; It's playing like a song

The sky is clear and the stars are out
It was a great day; this is what life's about
It was a good day; it played like a song

Put on your happy face
and have a great day
Forget about your anger, pain and sadness
Everything is going to be OK

Everybody has problems; that's the way life is
The way you deal with it; determines how you live
One day we look back and realize how irrelevant it was
Whether it was a false accusation, misunderstanding or love

Put on your happy face and have a great day
Learn to talk, be forgiving and understanding
People have different opinions; that's what makes life great
Put on your happy face; think about peace, love and happiness
And have a great day : )      :  )      :   )

I'm just an old hippie
Somehow his spirit has gotten inside me
I'm for peace and love and music
And I like to see my girl in a sundress with a flower in her hair
I'm just an old hippie; I like living free

Some people don't get me
They don't like my long hair
They think I'm just about *** and drugs
And that I don't have a care
I'm an old hippie but your judgment is unfair

I challenge you to read the bible and the teachings of the Lord
Did he teach peace; I believe so
Did he teach about love, understanding and being there for others; do I need to say more
I don't like war; peace and love and music is what I live for
I'm just an old hippie; I like living free

Get up and go
The clock of life is ticking
You don't know when it's going to strike twelve
The world keeps spinning
It's not going to stop for you
    
            Get up and go
            Everybody is giving a gift
            You are the one who knows what it is
            It's up to you, to use it
            What are you waiting for; get up and go
