In this world of human pain,
It is too easy to be swallowed in:
By the business that wears each of us down;
Dread and sorrow can be found all around,
And anger and pain is too easy to show.
Open up your heart and let in a drop of sunshine.

In this world of nightmares and despair,
It is too easy to be swallowed in:
By the loss of dreams and broken hearts.
So many sad faces and stories surround,
So many hardships and trials to attend.
Open up your heart and let in a drop of happiness.

In this world of broken promises and lies,
It is too easy to be swallowed in:
By the untruths and burdens others lay at our feet.
It is easy to allow our thoughts to be darkened into shadows,
To allow negativity to fill our sphere.
Open up your heart and let in a drop of peace.

In this world of tears and frowns,
It is too easy to be swallowed in:
By words spoken in anger and petty jealousies.
We start to believe that hope is lost and God is gone.
Open up your heart and let in a drop of love.

Sunshine, Happiness, Peace, and Love:
All gifts to us from God above.
If we open up our minds, remember our dreams,
And hold truth in our hearts;
There is always something there to make us smile.
A photo, a memory, a friend, a touch, a smell, a taste:
What will you find pleasure in?
What will remind you to let go of the Darkness?
What will help you face tomorrow and let go of yesterday?
