Do not cry because the day is over
But smile because it happened
The sun hitting your face when you wake
And the smell of food on your plate

Be happy that you can see
And run around amongst the trees
The friends you’ve made past and present
And the carefree future promised in heaven

Take note of the world happening around you
The sun, the grass, the sky, and animals surround you
Make the most of it because soon someday will hit
And make you old, grey and tired without wit

The birds will not sing for you anymore
And suddenly life becomes a chore
The ever-bright world that we live in
Is now a giant hollowed can cage of tin

You’ll live on love and hospitality of others
When you really don’t care 'cause this place is a bother
So make **** sure that you remember
What life’s light was like before it became embers
