Words/Music – Rand Anderson
You see a glass half empty, I see a glass half full
is there love in those eyes beneath the hopeless ridicule

A world crumblin around you mumbles desolation and despair,
you’re just wanting to go somewhere so far away from there

Sitting alone, atop a tarnished pile of gold 
happiness is one thing that cant be bought or sold 

Rise up and smile at creation, and a better world we’ll make
Feeling the positive vibrations, but will you give more than you take

Counting your riches, better count your blessings too
Protecting what’s yours, but you cant take it with you 

So rise up and smile at creation, and a better world we’ll make 
Feeling the positive vibrations, but will you give more than you take

Take away your worries the grass will aways grow  
Just a stroke of kindness is all you need to know 
When patience turns to anger and the level reaches half 
Try to remember, you’ll live longer if you laugh

The road ahead is bumpy but have no fear 
Through the cracks in the cement, life will soon appear 
There’s no need to be grumpy. Caught beneath the wheels?
A hard life through tough times? Well, we all know how that feels

Rrise up and smile at creation, and a better world we’ll make 
Feeling the positive vibrations, but will you give more than you take
