Stay Happy

Yes, I'm happy
Not because I'm fake.
I'm happy because
I've had a life

Where hunger pangs
were our lullabies
Where that figure
suppressed in our throats, our cries
Where knocks on the door
sent shivers down our mind
Where keeping us alive each day
was my mother's only fight
Where money was unheard of,
a full day's meal was unseen.
Where tomorrows were mourned
Where the future was drowned
Yes, there was a beacon of light
And we clinged on to that straw.
Yes, I'm happy today
that God gave me this day
To be able to give away
A meal, some money, some hope
To share my own stories
To help some one smile
Yes, I'm happy
And I'll be this way
Cling on, fight, stay alive
This too will pass
And you'll have your day
To shine!
