Another sunrise, another day
Another group of debts to pay
So much suffering going on
What is this life we've come upon?

Why are we here in this strange place
With so much trouble we must face?
What did we do to enter life
Were we the cause of terrible strife?

Are we being punished here?
Why do we suffer; it's unclear
Did we first then fall from grace
Into this pitiful human race?

Look to the sky; it's blue my friend
See the rainbow's gentle bend
Hear the peaceful babbling brook
There's beauty here, if we but look

The glass here never is half empty
In a world where water's plenty
Watch the sunset; see the dawn
This can be Heaven we've come upon

See the beauty in clouds that rain
A world of wonder where all can gain
This jewel of beauty is not a curse
Be not afraid of the universe!
