Should There Be a Day
Should there be a day
When the birds stop singing
Sing your favorite tune
Should there be a day
When no one tells you any stories
Tell me your day
Should there be a day
When there are no flowers
Plant them
Should there be a day
When everyone stops painting
Paint it all
Should there be a day
When no one has any answers
Make them up
Should there be a day
When you don’t know where to turn
Take a left
Should there be a day
When no one comes out to play
Go outside
Should there be day
When the recipe says one teaspoon
Put a tablespoon
Should there be a day
When there’s no one to guide you
I will sit beside you
