Happy

GIRL: What should I fear for?
CHORUS: What should she fear for?
GIRL: Now I am free
CHORUS: Now she is free
GIRL: I'm everything I ever wanted to be (wanted to be)
I'm seeing everything I ever wanted to see (wanted to see)

And I'm
HAPPY
Happy today, Happy
And though it's grey,
And cloudy,
That just makes me all the more happy!
Can you not see? (can you not see?)
Now I finally have the time to just be me (just be me)
To let myself go,
To see myself free,
And be
HAPPY.

Why should I contradict myself,
I have no great wealth,
Or beauty,
But I'm still happy.

CHORUS: Why should she take the blame?
Really we're all the same.
Him and her,
You and me,
We should be Happy.

ALL: So we're happy,
Happy today,
No matter what you say,
Can't you see?
That just makes us all the more
Happy.

CHORUS: By now you should see,
GIRL: Now I finally have the time to just be me.
SOLO: To let herself go!
SOLO: To set herself free!
GIRL: And I'll be
ALL: Happy.

GIRL: But if that doubt sneaks into my mind
I will find
SOLO: The light at the end of the tunnel,
SOLO: The fish that swim in that sea,
ALL: I'll brush away the cobwebs and be Happy.
SOLO: The sun that will rise in the morning,
SOLO: The birds that fly careless and free,
ALL: I'll brush away the dust, and be Happy.

CHORUS: Happy!
Happy today, Happy
Have it your way,
You can't stop us being
Happy.
GIRL: Can you not see?
Now I finally have the time to just be me.
ALL: To let ourselves go!
To set ourselves free!
And we'll be
Happy.

ALL: So just be grateful
SOLO: And thankful
SOLO: And joyful
GIRL: And see
ALL: What a privellage it is to be
Happy.

Happy, Happy today,
Happy, you'll see one day,
What it means
SOLO: To no longer hide away,
SOLO: To set yourselves free,
ALL: And be
H A P P Y ! ! !

HOPE

Being disabled comes with its ups and its downs whether you have a mild disability like dyslexia or a very clear one like needing a wheelchair. No one should be bullied because they are different.

Maybe

Maybe I am no longer the girl of your dreams. Maybe our love is no longer what it seems. Maybe I am no longer young on the outside. But you stopped listening to what's inside.

Ghost Of The Past

Ghost of the past Come to haunt Determined to ruin something destined to last With a harsh little taunt Why did you return. Is it just to hurt and maim Was it because you could feel the burn.

Y.O.L.O.

You only live once. You gotta make the best of it. You play the hand your dealt. You gotta take the rest of it. I'm living out my dreams. But I never go to bed for it. You gotta see the prize.

feeling down :(

when feeling low and looking down, pick yourself up and reach for the sky. dont let anyone make you frown, dont let anyone make you cry. wear that smile big and bright, get that twinkle in your eye.

Yay! Here's the HAPPY one❀

@ashhkat Yay!!!

Is this where she gets to the music school? How old is she?

@Girlbobo Around 12, coming up to 13th birthday

@Girlbobo this is when she's been at the school for a while, but she's having doubts because she's getting bullied and stuff, so is singing a happy song to remind herself how lucky she is that she's off the streets. The song does have a pinch if doubt added in, and she's saying 'why should I be sad? I've got a bed, food, warm clothes and a good education'

@Platypus ok I have some ideas :)
