Instead of feeling bad, be glad you got somewhere to go
Instead of feeling sad, be happy you're not all alone
Instead of feeling low, get high on everything you love
Instead of wasting time, feel good about what you're dreaming of

Instead of losing hope, touch up the things that feel out of whack
Instead of being old, be young because you know you are
Instead of feeling cold, let sunshine into your heart

Instead of feeling bad, be glad you've got someone to love
Instead of feeling sad, be happy there's a God above
Instead of feeling low, remember you're never on your own

Instead of acting crazy chasing things that make you mad
Keep your heart ahead, it’ll lead you back to what you have
With every step you are closer to the place you need to be
