MERRY HEART

 

(Verse 1)

Woke up this mornin', sun peekin' through the blinds

Heavy weight on my chest, leavin' shadows in my mind

Yesterday's troubles, clingin' like a winter's chill

Feelin' like a melody, missin' all the joyful trill

(Chorus)

A merry heart does good, like medicine, they say

But a broken spirit dries the bones, withers hope away

Gotta chase the darkness, find a reason to believe

That sunshine's waitin' on the other side, just gotta rise and leave

(Verse 2)

Life throws punches, some land hard, some leave you bruised

Easy to get lost, in the blues you've been abused

But there's a fire in your soul, a flicker yet unseen

Gotta fan those embers, let the warmth begin to gleam

(Chorus)

A merry heart does good, like medicine, they say

But a broken spirit dries the bones, withers hope away

Gotta chase the darkness, find a reason to believe

That sunshine's waitin' on the other side, just gotta rise and leave

(Bridge)

So take a deep breath, let the tears begin to fall

Release the burden, answer freedom's beckoning call

One step at a time, mend the pieces, find your stride

There's beauty in the broken, where resilience can reside

(Chorus)

A merry heart does good, like medicine, they say

But a broken spirit dries the bones, withers hope away

Gotta chase the darkness, find a reason to believe

That sunshine's waitin' on the other side, just gotta rise and leave

(Outro)

Rise and leave, the shadows in the past

Rise and leave, a merry heart will last

A merry heart will last, a merry heart will last
