lyrics

RECESSION SONG
I believe in dreams, I believe in life so many different things
I believe its true, that there is someone watching over you.
I believe that there’s power in a simple quiet prayer
I believe you’ll see that there are many reasons to believe
Cause maybe life ain’t handed you no rainbows
and when you smile you really wanna frown
and when you got the world upon your shoulders
I’m telling you don’t be down.
I believe my soul is resting in a hope that makes me whole
I believe you’ll see that there are many reasons to believe
Cause maybe life ain’t handed you no rainbows
and when you smile you really wanna frown
and when you got the world upon your shoulders
I’m telling you don’t be down.
When there’s a reason to be smiling (oh yeah)
a reason to be glad
Just look at all the good things that you have.
Cause maybe life ain’t handed you no rainbows
and when you smile you really wanna frown
and when you got the world upon your shoulders
I’m telling you don’t be down.
You got no no reason I said you don’t... look at all the good things you have...
