Happiness is a Basketball in Hand
Life isn't always fair
More questions than answers to share
Life isn't always fair
Much harder with you no longer there.
Had time in my head
Too much time laying in my bed
Had time in my head
Where I was going wasn't where I lead.
Feeling lonely feeling bleak
No feeling much of the time too weak
Feeling lonely feeling bleak
Had to re-enter life before becoming extinct.
Finding a new passion
I knew nothing, so out of fashion
Finding a new passion
Before depression came in crashin'.
So alone I made a choice
Never involving another's voice
So alone I made a choice
Around my room a mental invoice.
I pulled myself up on my feet
I put on my Nike's and the fresh air I would greet
I pulled myself up on my feet
I grabbed my basketball and walked out to my street.
Day to night, Night to day
I found my anger and sadness fading away
Day to night, Night to day
I dribbled the ball up and down the drive-way.
Life isn't always fair
Sometimes it seems the world doesn't care
Life isn't always fair
But me and a basketball make an awesome pair.
So anytime I am feeling down
I'm not going to let myself sink and drown
So anytime I am feeling down
Life, like a basketball, comes up after hitting the ground.
