In a mood

Sometimes I wake up and I'm in a mood

And I don't know how or why

Do I lie in my bed and cry in my head?

No, I go out and look at the sky

I hear the songs of the birds

I like to watch them fly

And I drift away as the clouds roll by

I close my eyes and say

"It's a beautiful day"

And I find a little peace of mind

You know, this life is so crazy

But I can't let it phase me

So I go lie down where the trees are shady

I have a pretty good life

There's no need for this strife

And I can't keep walking on the edge of a knife

I take three long breaths

To give my thoughts a rest

Sometimes I've got to yell to get it off of my chest

So I take small steps

One day I'll get there

'Cause I'm always moving forward if I never regress

I know everything fades with the passage of days

And I can't breathe hate when they laugh in my face

So I gather my smile

And I laugh for a while

'Cause I prefer to be happy, that is my style

Yeah, it's a mighty fine day to watch the sky in the shade

Then I lower my gaze and watch the dragonflies play

Well, I have a confession

I don't need this depression

So I get it off my chest and then I throw it away

Because sometimes I wake up and I'm in a mood

And I don't know how or why

Do I lie in my bed and cry in my head?

No

I go out and look at the sky
