How can I be happy
and then become so sad
Look at everything as good
and then find it as bad
Stare out at the world today
and show a smiling face
Then look in the mirror and
I can not find a trace
How can so much joy I see
just disappear so fast
Maybe I’ll just go to sleep
and hope that this will pass

~

Are the angels
contemplating my fate
deciding for me
the route or journey I take

Do they watch over me
through the difficulties in my life
giving me strength
helping me do what's right

If I ask them
would they guide me today
give answers to questions
that upon my mind do often weigh

Do they forgive
the mistakes I've made
the one's I've forgotten
or that have begun to fade

I hope they stay forever
a comfort and a guide
their love washing over me
like a calm and caressing tide

The days can feel so grey
and the clouds so very low
struggling through the hours
finding ways to not let it show

Its so easy to let it get you down
there's often a battle going on inside
feeling at the bottom,  exhausted
wading in deep water through this life

Need to turn it all around
look at things in a different way
clear your head of it all
in the hopes it'll lift the grey

Our surroundings are often clouded
but the sky is always blue
it's just we now have to learn
to look up and change our view

At times just believing this
will hopefully be enough
to keep us looking upwards
towards that blue sky up above
