Put Me Back In

The world is filled with good people

But sometimes they just lose their way

As newborns, we all start out the same

With the same joy for life and enthusiastic outlook

THEN we grow up and think to ourselves

“WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!

If I'd realized what the world would be like

I'd have yelled...

“ARE YOU NUTS... PUT ME BACK IN!”

Too late, guess I'll just have to make the best of it

So that's the crux of the matter, this whole thing called life

We can choose to grumble about

What we DON'T have, rather than appreciate we DO have

It's the down side of human nature it seems

I choose, and everyone else can

To live life to the fullest with a zest for the simple joys

I hear ya yelling, “GET BACK IN YOUR CAGE!”

No problem, I'm convinced an upbeat and happy attitude

Is what's got me through these eighty-one years

So when things seem like they can't get any worse

Remember, you can't put you back in

So try to be the best person you can be

And trust me, LIFE WILL BE A BLAST!
