Lyrics
Turn on your Life
By Gary Skankey
Prickly pessimistic people
Are moping around with muddy moods
Frigid feelings are frankly feeble
On detailed display by dreary dudes
Dwelling on demons will drown them
Happiness hides when the mind is dark
Watch what happens when sunshine pierces the blackness
Turn on your life, when you
Switch on the light in others' faces
Erase every trace of malaise
And you will turn on your life
Shimmering smiles can shatter sadness
Try it and test this tingly tool
Cause a cascade of clear kindness
By beaming your blissful ballyhoo
Me-me disease is depressing
Narcissism will numb the soul
When your objective is outward the spirit flies upward
Raise their bowing heads
Steady their shaking knees
Lift their slumping shoulders
That's what thIs wacky world needs
Woeful worrying will not
Shrink the summits that they must face
Help them to soak in the scenes and the scents as they climb up
