On The Cloudiest Day
(inspired by the decisive power of a jet plane emerging through the clouds to reach 14,000 feet)
On the cloudiest day
When bad feelings pull you down
When the gloominess of grey seems
all around
On the cloudiest day
When joy and love seem far away
You can choose not to be
these feelings' prey
You can make your way through clouds of distress
Water in the air cannot make you stop
You will reach clear skies of beaming zest
As you let your attention pull you up
On the cloudiest day
Be full of joy and love
You will find clouds amusing
