Different Thoughts
maybe it's not such a monster,
such a life grabber as I thought.
maybe it's handing me a pen,
and some colour,
and a new perspective
even though I kept saying to myself,
''no, no,
it's better to shut the blinds and
shut your eyes 'til you leave.''
well I've noticed that
I've got a few too many tomorrows
to fill them all up with sorrow
and sad songs.
and sitting on the beach
with the sunset wrapping me up
was just enough to let me know
that this big city isn't the looming shadow over me
that I thought it would be,
and finding a reason each day to smile
is not nearly so hard
when I'm not convincing myself
to do the opposite.
