I’m Not Here To Be Sad (lyrics)
I don’t bother nobody
I don’t go lookin’ for trouble
I’m not much of a fighter
but too much of a lover
and I try to do the right thing
when the wrong thing’s so easy to do
I’m not here to be sad
nothin’s so bad
that I can’t make it through
I try not to hurt anybody
but ohhh I feel all the pain
like the weight of the world
fallin’ down on me like rain
but I try to remember
what a very wise man once said
I’m not here to be sad
nothin’s so bad
gotta live till I’m dead
I try to love everybody
when everybody don’t love me
I live with passion and compassion
walk a mile in their shoes just to see
my religion is kindness
love is my philosophy
I’m not here to be sad
nothin’s so bad
gotta set myself free
I miss my mother
brother sister and father
but losing my sons
was almost the death of me
but my love keeps growing
into eternity
I’m not here to be sad
nothin’s so bad
gotta set myself free
a lot of bad stuff happens
to good people everyday
no use whinin’ and complainin’
and it never changed nothin’ to pray
gotta keep on moving
so the pain don’t catch up with you
I’m not here to be sad
nothin’s so bad
that I can’t make it through
I’m not here to be sad
nothin’s so bad
gotta live till I’m dead
