What if I made no one smile today
What if I never gave up my own way
What if all the tears were my cause
From a moment when I paused
In an opportunity that I gave up
To share that suffering cup
For the moment I had to give
A friend in need, looking for motivation to live
What if today ends
And all I did was spend
Time focusing on my smile
And not going the extra mile
What if I only cared about my tears
And ignored everyone else’s fears
What if I only focused on me
And stopped focusing on we
What if today, every chance
Was an opportunity to bring on a new dance
What if today was going to be the day
That you had available to say
“I was down and out
And you inquired about
What was happening to me today
And you responded in a special way
And all I wanted to do was say, ‘Thank you’
For making me yellow when I was feeling blue.”
