Not a Sad Song

Lyrics
I don't wanna write a sad song, My brain says go away, There's way too much sadness I'm seeing every day.
When I want to write a song, Pick up pencil or computer, I'd rather write a melody That's bouncier, that's cuter!
So, This is my Protest Song, I'm making up a poster, No More Sad Songs, Get off that roller coaster. This is my Protest Song, I really hope you'll join me. Pick up that frown and put it down, Who needs all that baloney!
When the sky is falling And turns from blue to grey I'm grabbing my umbrella And going out to play.
The world is turning upside down, Going from bad to worse, But, I'll keep the sun shining in my full-spectrum universe!
This is my Protest Song, I'm making up a poster, No More Sad Songs, Get off that roller coaster. This is my Protest Song, I really hope you'll join me. Pick up that frown and put it down, Who needs all that baloney!

Nicely done 👏. Love the thought and the lines: "When the sky is falling And turns from blue to grey I'm grabbing my umbrella And going out to play." Such a brilliantly positive upbeat thought! Kudos.

Oh man 😂 I have so many song attempts that are just like this, but these lyrics are just better; I absolutely love em!

What the world needs not is Love, sweet Love. Thanks for listening to my personal adventure song "No Fleas, Please". It's sort of a protest song too. I could have written it about Covid, but that would be too sad...particularly now that we have a new Health Minister in the USA to protect our health!

I love how it's turned around, and in the best way! Excellent skirmish!

This is how I felt this FAWM. Sad songs just seem to fall out of me. Even when I'm trying to be positive it ends up sounding wistful. At least theres some hope in my lyrics. This is my favourite part of this song: "I'm grabbing my umbrella And going out to play" #tit4tat
