OH HAPPY CRY

Oh God, I had everything

I've ever wanted in my life

And now I have nothing left

Feel there is no hope in sight

I don’t even cry….

There’s no way for me to fathom

How it all could slip away

And I don’t have the will I need

To continue on this way

Can you give me a reason Lord

Some excuse to save my life

When you know I’m past the point

Of minding if you try

I don’t even cry

~~~*1^st Chorus*~~~

The sun burst through the cloudy skies

And the birds all sang in tune

I heard the children laughing

As they headed off to school

The neighbor’s baby walked to me

And then squealed in delight

I held that baby to my heart

A silent thank you to the skies

And then I cried

~~*~~

No I have not even lived

Sat believing all was done

Getting older, and feeling sad

Sensing nothing had been won

And it became so easy Lord

When things weren't going well

To blame you for my every loss

And feel sorry for myself

I know my life’s not over

There is so much more to do

I can sit here, or get out there

I don’t have a thing to lose

~~~*2^nd Chorus*~~~

Today’s shower left a rainbow

That I traveled with my eyes

Kids stomping in the puddles

And the neighbor’s baby cries

I grabbed a bucket full of chalk

And went out to join the kids

A silent thank you to the skies

For this awesome life I live

Yes I'm alive

Oh Happy Cry
