[MajestyJo]

When life seems empty, cold and drab
As it can often be,
then that's the time to take a break
And take the time to see
The silver lining behind each cloud
The bright dawning of each day
To recognize, to realize - that
There is a better way.

A way to change; a way to grow
To have courage; to believe
That we are given choices
And with guidance will receive
A pre-determined road map
From which a journey can begin
To ease the ever present doubt
To feel there's hope again.

So believe that we are special and unique in every way
that each and every one of us are
God's greatest miracles at play
And instead of living in the past and
Hiding behind protective masks
Take steps to turn our lives around
Be positive and pray
And before too long and with God's help
We'll find, there is a better way.

A better way to look at life; clearly and with pride
To take ownership for what we do; to allow the world inside
To share and care; to do and to say
These precious words, day by day

I believe in freedom; I believe in me
The serenity prayer is my guide to see
That with courage and acceptance; commitment and prayer
THERE IS A BETTER WAY.
