We all have our battles that we live with everyday
Each one of us wages them in our own way
We arrive with different weapons at different times
Different places, spaces, faces…with our own dimes
We all have different tools to go at our own duels
Some of us quite adept, while others still have to learn the rules
Of the game that we as the dreamers play day in and day out
It is tougher then tough, the key is to never, ever give out
From the time you wake up, to the time you go to bed
You need to be thinking how do I get my family better fed?
I need to dream bigger and think more then others do
I need to go that extra mile where others have never went
I need to find inspiration in everyday life
And grow stronger from every single strife
Build towers to my goals, aspirations and dreams
With negative building blocks, found everywhere it seems
I need to become like a mirror or the image in a reflecting pool
The more someone says I can't, the more I will prove them a fool
The more negative someone is each and everyday
The more positive I will become, in every possible way
I will become a beacon of positivity
Radiating happiness like a Nuclear Power Plant radiates radioactivity
Coworkers will stop and wonder, what's his story, why is he so happy?
I will say, why shouldn't I be? There's so many reasons to be merry…!
We can all be happy for a plentiful plethora of positively pleasurable purposes
There are so many rambunctiously, radical, ridiculously, rampant reasons
To take joy in every moment we are alive and if I may
I would like to help you name a few
You live in the land of the free and the home of the brave
You woke up this morning and your cute neighbor gave you a wave
You got up the courage to write how you really feel on that looseleaf paper
And you were kind enough to share a piece of yourself with all of us
