A letter to my future self
Am I still happy, I began
Have I grown up pretty
Is daddy still a good man
Am I still friends with Colleen
I’m sure that I’m still laughing
Aren’t I, aren’t I
Hey there to my future self
If you forget how to smile
I have this to tell you
Remember it once in a while
Ten years ago your past self
Prayed for your happiness
Please don’t, lose hope
Oh, oh what a pair me and you
Put here to feel joy, not be blue
Sad times and bad times, see them through
Soon we will know, if it’s for real
What we both feel
(spoken word)
Though I can’t know for sure how things worked out for us
No matter how hard it gets, you have to realize
We weren’t put on this earth to suffer and cry
We were made for being happy
So…be happy…for me. For you… Please
Oh, oh what a pair me and you
Put here to feel joy, not be blue
Sadder times and bad times, see them through
Soon we will know
If it’s for real
What we (what we) both feel (both feel)
(x4)
We were put here on this earth
Put here to feel joy
