Today's another opportunity
Tomorrow brings another one still
So why waste today's opportunity
By telling yourself, "Tomorrow I will?"
Can't you see the quantity of options that you have today?
To go, to do, to eat, to sleep, to speak, to fight, to work, to play
It's not that hard to do a little good
But you've got Layne Staley telling you he would if he could

Sad songs make other people sad
Being sad makes other people write sad songs
Let's break the mold of being down
Make a smile of that frown
Sing songs that make sad people glad
Till the whole world's holding hands and singing along

Did you hear you're a wonderful person?
The world is lucky to have you here
So go find another great person
And tell them yourself what they want to hear
Or buy a stranger lunch or give a friend of yours an ear to lend
Or pick up all the trash that drivers left along the highway bend
A smile's as contagious as a yawn
But still James Hetfield's telling you that all hope is gone

Sad songs make other people sad
Being sad makes other people write sad songs
Let's break the mold of being down
Make a smile of that frown
Sing songs that make sad people glad
Till the whole world's holding hands and singing along

Soldiers of smiles
Warriors of love
Our arms are fully loaded with high fives and hugs
Our only mission
Our mantra we repeat
Time and time again, to the rhythm on the beat

We spread the love, spread the joy, make a little bit of noise
Make a little bit more just a little bit later

And why should we cry when laughter costs just as many tears?
I stand with Jaret Reddick in that all we need is love and non-alcoholic beer

I feel so full of energy
I wish the world could feel it too
So let's cast off all this dark energy
And send it to the pigs in the San Diego Zoo
Life was meant to be a blessing for the ones God blessed with life
So why do we insist in filling all our days with pain and strife?
We should focus more on just befriending
And maybe Avril Lavigne's gonna get her happy ending

Sad songs make other people sad
Being sad makes other people write sad songs
Let's break the mold of being down
Make a smile of that frown
Sing songs that make sad people glad
Till the whole world's holding hands and singing along
