Sick of living under this black cloud
Time to feel the sun upon me
The days of tears are gone
Now a glow of happiness surrounds me

Today is the first step
Now all will see the new me
No longer will I say “poor me”
Now you will wish you could be me.

What a weight has been lifted
When I came out of the cold
Now I can stand tall
The new me is a joy.

Join me on this new path
Feel the warmth too
Don’t let the black clouds get you
Feel my smile upon you.
