Jim's Note: This is the original acoustic version of the song. The version that will be on the album will be shorter, but I haven't quite worked out what I'm doing with the song, yet. It is in the process of being transformed from an acoustic folk song, into a song with a strong Samba beat! Stay tuned for more news...

I’ll sing you a song that’ll make you feel happy,
I’ll sing you a song, and it says, "You’re OK".
Sing you a song that’ll make you feel happy,
So open your hearts and give thanks for the day.

Chorus
You are the ones who belong to the future,
The Future is Yours so hold on to the dream.
Never give up on the search for an answer,
Problems are never as big as they seem.

Don’t listen to cynics, don’t listen to losers,
The prophets of doom are just waiting to call.
They blame one another, blame human nature,
Sneer and sit back, and then wait for your fall.

Chorus

[Extra verse]
No need to be jealous, there is no need for envy,
No need to be bitter, there is no need for greed.
No need to be takers, no need to be schemers,
There is more than enough to fulfil every need.

Chorus

So be a song maker, be a life dancer,
The life that you live is too short to be small.
Give it all that you’ve got, take a shot, be a winner,
Hang on to your dreams there’s enough for us all.

Chorus

And be a love giver, be a peace bringer,
The pleasure you find you know money won’t buy.
Be a health maker, a happiness singer,
Bring joy to the world and it will never die.

Chorus
