It’s easy to love when everything’s bright
The sunshine pours in and bathes us in light
And everything’s tidy in our home and in our minds but
Can you still love when life turns out the light
It’s easy to sing when everything’s clear
Your head and your heart is all hope and no fear
You’ve got lots of friends and a decent career but
Can you still sing when despair is so near
It’s easy to dance when your mind is at peace
Your whole body flows with a gentle release
The music is healing
That’s just how life feels but
Can you still dance when you’re gripped by this fear
It’s easy to play when everything’s fun
You’re just in the flow and the laughing’s begun
Imagination has the freedom to run but
Can you still play when the tears start to come
