Motive

If you want to be happy, then think happy thoughts
You’ve got to love life for what it’s worth
If you keep thinking about what you don’t have
You’ll never be happy on this earth

You’ve got to learn that life isn’t always fair
Sometimes it’s going to knock you down
The question that you’ve got to ask yourself is
Will you pick yourself up from the ground?

Is it really worth all the tears you’ve cried
To sit in the darkness and mope
The answer is staring you in the face
But you’ll only find it if you have hope

Don’t worry about those who don’t matter
The ones who do are by your side
When all is said and done you’ll notice
That you never really tried

You kept clouding up your mind with words
Maybe even a picture or two
But they didn’t paint it too pretty
Because you weren’t sure of what to do

Well here’s the answer that you’ve been looking for
It’s not a secret that we hid
You just never took the time
To find it like the others did

You’re got to learn that you’re not worthless
There are people who love you
Even if you don’t think it’s possible
I can assure you it’s true

The sun always comes back to shine
Even after clouds of gray
The best part of life is there
You’ve just got to find it every day
