“The Sunny Side”

On the sunny side of infinity

there’s not much to really hurt you

in your visions of serenity

is there room for any virtue

we’re all playing like we’re alive

we’re all fighting to survive

inside your heart you may find an answer

a living death is just a form of cancer

On the sunny side of your smile

is where my heaven lies

I’ll see your visions for awhile

I’ll look inside your eyes

why must we play like we’re alive

why must we fight to survive

I’ve looked outside to try to find the answer

it’s all inside, a loving smile’s the answer

Touch my hand with your sweet warmth

so I can feel no other

give your heart for all it’s worth

it’s time we found each other

Love is why we’re alive

love needn’t fight to survive

love is here to help us find the answer

heartfelt love can cure a lifelong cancer.
