Make Today a Jubilee

If I live another day there's no guarantee
So I'll enjoy each moment of today sweet pea
Any day above ground is a good one you see
If I were any better there'd be two of me

I've forgiven everybody who has hurt me
And so from a hate-filled heart I have been set free
It's no use to bear grudges now don't you agree
It's time to have some joy, life is a cup of tea

I lost a house, a car, a job once as would be
It could be worse, I could be like an amputee
But then again an amputee may be happy
'Cause happiness is in the mind, we are set free

If this is our last day on earth what will it be
Will it be a fantastic day or drudgery
There's joy in every moment if we just can see
So let's get ready, make today a jubilee

I've Looked Around

I'd like to ask you old chappie
Why are you always so happy
I've looked around and rarely found
You to be moody or snappy

I wonder what is your secret
I'm sure there's something you regret
I've looked around and rarely found
That you are angry or upset

Your happy face is so sunny
Even when things aren't so funny
I've looked around and rarely found
A kinder soul, sweet honey

And then I heard the truth from you
How you have suffered but stayed true
I've looked around and rarely found
How gratitude has brought you through

You've been spat upon and hated
Reputation desecrated
I've looked around and rarely found
Such forgiveness to be feted

No New Year's Resolution Here

No new year's resolution here
'Cause promises just disappear
So I'll just grin from ear to ear
And be so glad for one more year

Perhaps I'll sit and have a beer
Just one and let me make that clear
And maybe I will volunteer
To help some needy folks 'round here

I'd like to keep it in low gear
With peace and good will the whole year
Don't want to be a brigadier
No trouble-making welcomed here

Though some may scoff and others jeer
Just have some fun this coming year
Above all else please persevere
May all your problems disappear
