Something to Sing About

By: Joss Whedon

Life's a show
And we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts.
It's alright
If something comes out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along.

Where there's life,
There's hope.
Everyday's
A gift.
Wishes can
Come True.
Whistle while
You work
So hard
All day.

To be like other girls
To fit in this
Glittering world.
Don't give me songs.
Don't give me songs.
I need something to sing about!

Life's a song
You don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it so much worse.
Still, my friends
Don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for.

All the joy
Life sends.
Family
And Friends.
All the twists
And then
Knowing that
It ends
Well, that
Depends
On if they let you go
On if they know enough to know.
That when you bow,
You leave the crowd.

There was no pain
No fear, no doubt
Til they pulled me out
Of Heaven!
So that's my refrain,
I live in Hell
Cause I've been expelled
From Heaven!
I think I was in Heaven!

So give me something to sing about!
Please give me something to sing about!

Life's not a song.
Life isn't bliss
Life is just this
It's living!
You'll get along,
The pain that you feel
Only can heal
By Living!
You have to go on living!
So one of us is living!
