Cut out the sickness
Take out the pain
Make positive the memories
Don’t let it happen again
Bask in the day
Move forward in the sunlight
Raise your head above the clouds
Taste the raindrops, don’t cry
Reach forward and dream
Hold on
Recognise
See the love
Be thankful
See what’s beneath you
Touch what goes past you
Feel at home
Long for what’s your own
Feel hope
Make dreams and plans
Wishes and make believes to escape
Not looking for answers there already here
Holiday in happiness, don’t run away in fear
You understand already
Peal away the skin
Scrub away the dirt
Accept and feel real
Agree to try again
Stand still, accept
Stop running, breathe
Make do and mend
