Life through sad eyes
Life as seen through human eyes
 Made different by each mind
 Some thoughts lead to sure demise
 Cursing much of our kind
 
 But if I'm asked, I would say
 "Emotion is a bless"
 New doors can open everyday
 Eliminate your stress
 
 I know too well what sadness is
 I watched it kill my dad
 I understood that pain of his
 Though I was but a lad
 
 He had worked hard all of this life and lost his legacy
 Always fighting with his wife
 He drank to be happy
 
 One day he fell and his brain bled
 He even forgot my name
 Fighting life on his death bed
 He gave to all his shame
 
 But growing up the man I knew
 Was strong, Happy, and kind
 Though after battle with his brew
 He slowly lost his mind
 
 Its sad how such material loss
 Could cave in a life like his
 Working hard 'till made the boss
 He died long side his buiss.
 
 Having lived through such a hell
 When I was just fourteen 
 Countless tears from my eyes fell
 Depression ruled my everything
 
 I know too well what sadness is
 I must reiterate
 But in though times our strength can grow
 And make our minds more great
 
 If life projected from your eyes
 Seems sad, helpless, or scared
 Please don't stray to your demise
 Hope is everywhere
 
 Happiness is what we all seek
 Never think it's gone
 And if you do your heart is weak
 And forgive me - YOU'RE WRONG
 
 Down to a simple ice-cold drink
 Pleasure can be found
 Small things like this you'll never think
 Could lift you off the ground
 
 So if a tear comes to your eyes
 Lift your head! Stand Tall!
 Just grab an ice-cold lemonade
 And put love above all
