I’d cry
But the tears won’t come
I’d have a pity party
But the decorations won’t come
There’s no point to the madness
The deflation and sadness
The party’d take more energy
Than optimism would give
I have to have hope
I have to be happy
I can’t complain
I refuse to be sappy
A road that’s higher
That’s the one I choose
A road of self-improvement
Yet I’ve got nothing to lose
It took something wretched
So unlike the person I should be
For me to look onside myself
And see how I lacked wealth
God tore me down
Only to build me up
He’s molding and making
What he’d have me to be
I won’t be angry
I shan’t have that party
Because you see
It’s exactly how I wanted it to be
