Focus on what’s there, not on what there wasn’t
What happens, happens, and what doesn’t happen doesn’t
Love your fellow woman and love your fellow man
And remember, always live your life the best that you can
When it’s raining, skies are gray and your feeling bad
Think for a minute about what’s making you sad
You might be short on money, what’s that really worth
All the money in the world couldn’t buy you birth
In a race of millions you’re the only sperm that scored
You passed the hardest test already, life was your reward
Stop feeling down and out and start having a ball
Because being alive is the greatest gift of all
You can sing and dance you can smoke and drink
You can run, jump, eat, sleep, walk, talk, or think.
So cheer up smile, laugh away your sorrow
Today it might be raining but the sun will shine tomorrow
And focus on what’s there, not on what there wasn’t
What happens, happens, and what doesn’t happen doesn’t
Love your fellow woman and love your fellow man
And remember, always live your life the best that you can
So you didn’t get the job, you didn’t make the grade
Last night you got shut down and couldn’t get laid
But there will be more jobs, and you’ll take more tests
And you were tired anyways so you needed the rest
You can’t change what happened, you can’t go back in time
So start living life bcause you’re in your prime
Life’s the peak of existence and that’s no lie
So your prime is going to last until the day you die
It started on your birthday when you left the womb
It won’t end till the day that you reach your tomb
Don’t worry about the future and don’t live in the past
The present’s all there ever is so try to make it last
And focus on what’s there, not on what there wasn’t
What happens, happens, and what doesn’t happen doesn’t
Love your fellow woman and love your fellow man
And remember, always live your life the best that you can
So your beat up car looks kind of lame
And your girlfriend or boyfriend is not that hot
I’m telling you man don’t be ashamed
Just try and be grateful for all that you got
Thank G-d you have food, cause some people don’t
Thank G-d your getting educated, some people won’t
Thank G-d you can see, some people are blind
And thank G-d for all of the friends that you find
Thank G-d for the weekend, to snap the daily grind
Thank G-d you can sleep each night and rest your mind
Thank G-d for the books of Moses, one through five
But most of all, Thank G-d you’re alive
And focus on what’s there, not on what there wasn’t
What happens, happens, and what doesn’t happen doesn’t
Love your fellow woman and love your fellow man
And remember, always live your life the best that you can
