Tears Of Joy
It's easy to think of your troubled pastOr how relationships never last
I'm glad those days have finally gone
Now my heart sings a different song
All my life I've been down on myself
I felt at times I had nothing left
Making excuses for things I didn't avoid
Now I opened my eyes and only cry tears of joy
I didn't appreciate all that I had
I blamed the world because I felt sad
It's no one's fault for the choices I've made
I wasn't forced to play the games I played
No more excuses for things I didn't avoid
Now I only cry tears of joy
Once I got my mind off of me
I started to look up at the trees
I walked around the yard for hours
I felt and smelled of all the flowers
Then I decided to sit on the ground
I remembered how blessed I really am
Don't want excuses or things to avoid
I only feel like crying tears of joy
It's strange how a stranger became my friend
He made me realize I want to live again
I know longer look at the world with disgrace
Every single blessing I want to embrace
No more sadness or being coy
Just loving life and crying tears of joy
