about

I wrote this song to remind myself of how blessed I am every day I wake up. I pray that it can help you see the sunny side of whatever situation you are in.

lyrics

If you've got breath in your lungs
there's a song to be sun
If the sun's still in the sky
Then we're all still alive
If there's music in the air
throw away all your cares
and sing La la la la la La

We've got so many reasons to shout (HEY! HEY!)
We've got so many reasons to sing and dance about
We've got so many reasons to shout, shout, shout
singing la la la la la la

if there's birds still in the skies
Then let me hear those happy cries
If you've got blood in your veins
Dance away all those pains
If you've got a beating heart
then come on sing your part
it goes: la la la la la la

there's a lot shit to be shoveled
there's a lot of mud to move and rake
there's a lot pricks that'll burst your bubble
there's a lot losers filled with hate
But if those petty peckers get you down
Just drown em out with those happy fucking sounds

We've got so many reasons to shout (HEY! HEY!)
We've got so many reasons to sing and dance about
We've got so many reasons to shout, shout, shout
singing la la la la la,
la la la la la,
la la la la la laaaaaa
