I Will Be Happy
One day in prison I decided to pray
Since then everything has been going my way
When I learned I had Hepatitis one day
I turned it around in a positive way
I summand every drop of strength that I had
Wrote out my books explaining, “This is my bad”
My back injury forever changed my life
Since then everyday is marred with pain and strife
Returning to school was a choice that I made
Making the most out of the price that I paid
Happiness is no more than a frame of mind
Each circumstance holds some happiness to find
It’s all in the way, which you choose to believe
Life is way to short to set around and grieve
Your cup is half-empty, well mine is half-full
As I am a student this life is my school
It’s easy to be happy when all is glad
The trick is learning to find joy in the sad
I’m happy because I refuse not to be
Life is whatever we make of it, you see
Whatever this life chooses to throw my way
I will be happy at the end of the day
Because, I quite simply refuse not to be
This life is the hound dog and I am the flea
By the, "Blood Of The Lamb," like it or not
I'm draining this life of everything its got
One thing is for certain, life will always
be full of trials and test. Happiness is born
within; therefore, these trials and test can
only alter our course they cannot define them.
Learn to make the most out of every situation
and you will have learned how to be happy!
