say once

Don't be miserable and don't be sad,

No, these things happen every day.

Many more have gone before and many more will come back for more.

I'm sure it's dark through those dusty window panes, but out there it's not all built on pain.

Don't clean the house or turn up the heat,

Bundle up and hit the streets.

Wondering where there is to go,

Head somewhere you really want to call home.

Where streetlights always lead the way, where sun shines down throughout the day.

Swinging from lamp posts to avoid sidewalk cracks, instead of cracking up at passing cars and who might be in them.

Swing town 10 miles too fast, nothing except $10 in cash.

See faces glow like you've never known, or maybe you remember, but aren't sure how.
