One more big let down
Another 'Oh well'
An unpleasant moment
I try not to dwell

I try to think happy
Be cheery and bright
Not focus on sadness
And keep joy in sight

Sometimes it's a struggle
Sometimes I can't cope
Sometimes it's too hard
And I give up all hope

It's one of those moments
It could go either way
I try to stay happy
At least one more day

Don't know if I'll win
But I just have to try
Just keep right on smiling
Don't let myself cry

Just keep right on going
Despite my new scars
Keep trying and hoping
And wishing on stars

Sometimes they come true
I'll keep wishing away
It will happen some day
It just won't be today

But tomorrow is new
A brand new fresh start
A chance to start over
And fill up my heart

So I'll hold on tonight
Tomorrow start new
I'll keep right on wishing
What else can I do?
