about

Written as a birthday present for my friend Sara!

lyrics

Energy, girl you can light up a room with your smile
Travel the world in original hippy style
Oh life can be hard but it won't get you down
I've never seen you face the world with a frown
Cos everything changes when the world spins around a new day.

Life in the underworld treated us all quite mean
But you're a survivor girl, the best one I've ever seen
Oh life can be hard but it won't get you down
I've never seen you face the world with a frown
Cos everything changes when the world spins around a new day.

So dance the night away
Life's too short to cry
Now's the time to play
So lift your spirits high!

Possibly girl, you've been hiding your troubles away
And under your smile is a sadness, and you can't say
Oh life can be hard but it won't get you down
I've never seen you face the world with a frown
Cos everything changes when the world spins around a new day.
