its better than it was just yesterday
21 degrees outside
grey as coalmines in the sky
covered up to keep ourselves alive
put the wool upon our head
with layers on we went to bed
the world was very quiet then
we just closed our eyes and fell asleep
Lets go have a picnic today
bring the dogs and let them run
warm our bones under the sun
bring the blankets I'll bring the lemonade
even every now and then
all monsters need to smile again
The weather is much warmer now
the flowers slowly coming into bloom
I'll choose my words before I speak
and learn again to sing a proper tune
lets head out lets get out,
but don't try to wear my halo
bad weather is clearing
but i feel so much older now
lets go have picnic today
lay out in the fields of green
learn to keep our spirits clean
pack our bags with something quick to eat
everyone is smiles now
everyone is smiles now
the sunlight is a prayer for me
and everyone should go outside and play
and we'll just speak of happy things
yes we'll just speak of happy things today
