"It's A Beautiful World", by Jump5, from Dreaming In Color
It's about friends, it's about school
It's about changes
The ones you never thought they'd put you through
It's times like these
That I got a touch of Irish in me, yeah
And we can talk honesty
But honestly
I'm okay this way, yeah
Hey, you just don't understand
Sometimes my sky's a little gray
And I know eventually
I'll be feeling all right again
Life's been a friend to me
You don't need to convince me
It's a beautiful world
I know it's a beautiful world
It's about faith, it's about heart
It's about progress
The things that try to tear the world apart
My mind has to speak
‘Cause I feel what I feel much too deep
But if it motivates me to do something good
Then I'm okay this way
Sunshine beating down on my life
Maybe that's a long time away
But I guess I'll take it day by day
You ask when I'll get my smile back
Well I'll tell you
I can smile now, though I know I'm down
And if you stay around it might just happen
It's about you, it's about me
It's about trusting
All the things we feel but never see
I feel so much
Sometimes I'm a little out of touch
You can talk honesty
But honestly
I'm okay this way, yeah
From the group - WHAT IT MEANS: Beautiful World talks about the challenges of life, what the world gives us, and how we deal with it. There are going to be good days and there are going to be gray days. We can choose to love or we can choose to hate. It takes all of us to make this a beautiful world. - Lesley
It's so true that there are ups and downs in life... and so much that is out of our control. But, like Lesley said, we CAN choose how we respond to the twists and turns of life. Isaiah 41:10,13 is always encouraging to me...
Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
For I, the LORD your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, "Fear not,
I am the one who helps you."
