Song Description

Lighten Up your attitude so you don't send yourself to the grave. Most of what you worry about doesn't happen anyway.

Lyrics

Lighten Up
Copyright 2011 Bill Douglass

The things I think bout most of the time
never turn out the way I picture in my mind
so all my frettin was - good for nothin
and in hindset I was just wastin time

like a little man inside - bidin his time
till the next problem comes along
just like chicken little - he can't enjoy livin -
cuz he's waitin for the sky to fall

Like a rat in a wheel - is how I feel
when I get weighted down by life
you think I'd learned somethin - by now -
its that nothin's gonna change ... by all my strife

Chorus:
So Lightin up - before your sun goes down
Lighten up - before you hit the ground
with the weight your carry - your sure to be buried
with the baggage your luggin around

So Lighten up - before your days are gone
Lighten up - before you get where your goin
and all of your fightin on the road your ridin
will be for nuthin unless you lighten - up

This may seem a little sappy - just dont worry be happy
but there's a place of faith to find
you can spread your wings - you can let go of things
without tryin to fix'em all the time

you can still have hope - at the end of your rope
and from what I've seen that's what you - need the most
reach out and fly ... let go and let God
whatever you do - dont wait long

(chorus)
