~ Jump Start ~
In these times of heartache and pain
In these days of running short of money
We can always look up, and know there are crystals of rain
We can feel there's still the days ahead, that will alway's be sunny
For the world may be of dark days and woes
For your own it may seem like thunderous grey skies
Depending on your direction and what you precive as low
Depending on the solution you choose, it may come as a surprise
The way you see the glass half empty, or half full
The view you take on getting through each waking hour
Realizing there's more important things in life, is really cool
Realizing the playing hard at life, gives you it's devine power
Ever noticed a smile on your face gives you one right back?
Ever felt like dancing in the rain, or singing out loud?
Ever seen the colors of the sky as a matter of fact?
Ever done something for someone and felt really proud?
It's those little things in life that really make the difference
It's these people we meet everyday, whether or not their strangers
It's how you view yourself, and hopefully you do with reverence
It's what you make out of your life, not what you wager
