LIGHTEN UP

Hey lighten up…
It’s getting hard to breathe
With the weight of  this depression
Bearing 
             Down
                        On
                               Me…

Oh yeah things suck
You know it could be worse
You could be a war-torn Country
Just 
       Think
                  In 
                       Reverse

With doom and gloom
It’s difficult to smile
So do something, or lighten up
Back
         Off
               For 
                      Awhile


~~~*Chorus*~~~
Lighten up and just be thankful 
That you’re free to complain
That you have a home and family
A reason to celebrate
Think of the men who fight, who've died
To make your life this way
Lighten up and let me breathe
If only for today
~~*~~

Hey lighten up…
It’s getting hard to breathe
With the strain of vexation
That’s
           Smothering
                                 Me

Things will work out
Somehow they always do
You have to hit your lowest point
Grasp
           What
                     You've
                                  Been 
                                             Through

So be quiet please
I feel like I could break
Trying to live with all the noise
So 
    Many 
             People 
                        Make


~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
So much controversy
Too crazy, I can’t think
I want to smile for a little while
Life’s over in a blink
I would like some peace
Could you all back up
Be thankful, lighten up
Yeah, lighten up 
~~*~~

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~
Lighten up and just be thankful 
That you’re free to complain
That you have a home and family
On this Independence day
Think of the men who fight, who've died
To make your life this way
Lighten up and let me breathe
If only for today
~~*~~
