Life, you know has ups & downs
Which sometimes I forget
And get all hung up in some mood
Which later I’ll regret
Why does it sometimes feel so hard
Some happiness to find
To the point that it can feel as if
I’m so losing my mind
I get all caught up in ‘the thing’
And try to think & think
Of why my life just seems to suck
So deeper in I sink
If I don’t catch my ‘chatterbrain’
From spewing out its stuff
It leads me down to misery
And life gets really rough
But if I catch my sneaky mind
And stop it in its tracks
Things can perk up instantly
And I can just relax
A hug from someone that I love
Some music, dance or song
Can flip my mood off like a switch
So joy can come along
A change from thought to action can
A lot of moods release
So gentle joy can do its thing
And life can find some peace
Cos life you know has ups & downs
And really that’s ok
As long as we switch off the chat
And allow joy to lead the way.
