My sky is gloom and as cold as I
My day is dry and as dark as coal
Loneliness, hunger and poverty try the more
Longing with all diligence to get tears off mine eyes
My stream is bitter
And my spring flows blood
My morning dawns into mourning
As my harvest pour dry chaffs
Solitude and pain and disease
With all might try to get tears off mine eyes
My friends bring me sorrow
As my foes will me sorry state
My spirit is tied to the ground
And my soul desires hades
Temper, tempest and the tempter
Work and walk hand in hand to get tears off mine eyes
What really do I see
The world has poured before me
A few reasons to cry
But I'm often to bounce up
To take the world by storm
Displaying before it
A thousand reasons to smile
And with this I never lose, I'm never down
For frowners never win and smilers never lose
As love flows within me so there are within me
More than a thousand reasons to smile
