When life can make you disappear, when we think we can't shed another tear.
When you look up in despair,
when you conclude no one cares.
Close your eyes and hear your heart pound,
listen to the rhythm of its sound.
Breath after breath fill you lungs with air,
feel the motions as you exhale, be aware.

If we sit and think of all the things that have gone wrong,
our lists would never end, they are always long.
If we think of all our failings and the things we never did,
all the things we would dream of as a playful kid.
All the empty pages in our book of hope,
We can regret and dissect and put it all under a microscope.
But this will never allow you to really see,
this is a trap where you will never be free!

See it all in glorious colour,
take a breath and make your life so much fuller.
Hear the birds sitting in the trees,
Feel the gentle touch upon your face from the evening breeze.
Or the warmth of mornings sun,
drop the negativity and start to have some fun.

So when you feel you may disappear,
turn on the light and all will become clear.
The problems you thought we're too great,
will only hide the good things that await.
Put a foot infront of the other and move on,
you are important, valued, you belong.

You are part of this puzzle we call life, so live it well,
life can have it's ups and downs, can be a carousel.
But the most important key to it all,
is live your life, go have a ball.
Enjoy the love the the laughs and smile much more,
life shouldn't be a dredge or a chore.

Turn around all your sadness and leave the negative behind,
I guarantee one day soon, happiness you will find.
It will greet you with open arms and make you smile again,
taking away your loss and all of your pain.
You can and will find your space in a world so vast,
and your light will shine bright, never to be overcast.
Your book of hopes can still be achieved, it really can be done,
just stare into the eyes of doubt and tell it this time you've won!
