r)(f)God Is Always There(r)(f)
I used to live every day
As if it were a curse
I used to live every day
Wondering how things could get worse
I used to be pessimistic
And look in the mirror and see
A girl with a miserable disposition
Frowning back at me
Now I take advantage
Of the advantages I have
I smile when someone's frowning
I laugh when I get the chance
God gave me a chance
To see the world for what it's worth,
To make it something beautiful
Or scorn the bad things on the Earth
I used to never smile
My life was upside down
Until I came to God
And He turned that frown around
I never saw the light
Till He showed up in the dark
I never saw the tears
Until He came into my heart
Now I take the chance
To get up every morning and smile
Cause you don't know what tomorrow will bring
You just have to walk that mile
God gave me the chance
To choose happiness or not
He gave me the chance to see
The difference between what I want and what I've got
Sometimes when I'm feeling down
I look at the world around me
And feel that I am blessed
To be with those who surround me
My friends, my family, even my teachers
And of course God, He's always watching down
Smiling and waiting as I slowly
Begin to turn my life around
