Lyrics

Cheer Up Chicken
Words, music by Beverly Graham

Things have been a little rough for me lately
Sometimes I wonder if I'll make it though
I take a look around at all those who are weary
And if only I believe
Where my heart out on my sleeve
If I only give my all
It will all make sense somehow

REFRAIN:
Cheer up chicken it is only forever
Tomorrow is gonna be another day
I don't want to hear you ever say never
Cheer up chicken that's what mama would say

And I don't remember a time
When the sun did not shine in her eyes
Whenever anything went wrong
She was there with a smile and a song
She always had the right thing to say
That would chase all my tears away
And her love made me strong

And she say
REFRAIN:

Now I take a look at my own children
And I think of all the things that could cause them grief
All I want to do is hold them close and protect them
But I know I've got to let them
Be who they need to be
And if ever they are weary
I hope they come to me

And I'll say

REFRAIN
