Lenka

Lenka you inspire my smile
the child inside of me laughs when he hears your voice
yes, like a song
you come along
and soothe and lift my spirits (that have no choice)

Lenka come and sit a while
the poet in me would love to write with you
I love your show
it seems you know
how to be happy like few others do

It is a secret only children understand
I don't know why most grown-ups forget
We can choose to see life as hell or wonderland
Or somewhere in the middle
Well, I am not there yet

I still turn my lemons into lemonade
And I still see rainbows through my tears
All the raw emotions are just life's parade
Like a roller coaster there is joys and fears

But I will always choose love after all
I will always choose to get up when I fall
I will not stay down for long
I will listen to your song
And remember that perspective is my call
I decide what to do with my ball

Gonna bounce my ball
Wanna play with me today?
You can bounce the ball
We can choose to be this way
Let go of the pain and worries
Pause the troubles and the hurries
You know, just enjoy the show
Feel the wind blow and
Watch the garden grow and
Roll 'round in the snow and
Ride the river's flow

Let your freak flag fly
and feelings show
Let yourself go
Cuz you know
We can enjoy the show

And still turn lemons into lemonade
And still see rainbows through our tears
All the raw emotions are just life's parade
Like a roller coaster there are joys and fears

But we will always choose love after all
We will always choose to get up when we fall
We will not stay down for long
We will listen to this song
And remember that perspective is our call
We decide what to do with the ball

Gonna bounce the ball
Come and bounce the ball
Let's bounce the ball
