Sun's up
A little after twelve
Make breakfast for myself
Leave the work for someone else
People say
They say that it's just a phase
They tell me to act my age,
Well I am
On this perfect day,
Nothing's standing in my way
Hoku had the right idea... From the moment we wake up, we are in control of our mood, and can make each day as perfect as we want it to be.
Of course, fate has a way of tripping up our good moods.
However, I believe that facing adversity is a lot easier with a smile on our face and a full stomach!
