Never listen to anybody who try to discourage you.

It's a long road when you face the world alone, when no one reaches out a hand for you to hold. You can find love if you search within your soul, and the emptiness you felt will disappear.

Nothing that's ever happened has taken away the optimist in me. It's always, "Whatever-let's go to Disneyland." Yes, I have my bleak, tortured-artist moments, but you have to hold on to what's positive.

Everyday is a holiday with me.

Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly. They can try, but they can't take that away from me.

Sipping Bailey's Cream by the stereo, trying to find relief on the radio. I'm suppressing the tears.
