• For they told you life is hard
  Misery from the start,
  It's dull, it's slow, it's painful
  But I tell you life is sweet
  In spite of the misery
  There's so much more, be grateful
  So, who will you believe
  Who will you listen to
  Who will it be
  'Cause it's high time that you decide
  It's time to make up your own
  Your own state of mind
  Oh they told you life is long
  Be thankful when it's done
  Don't ask for more, be grateful
  But I tell you life is short
  Be thankful because
  Before you know it
  It will be over
  'Cause life is sweet, life is also very short

  Natalie Merchant

  Song, Sweet, Believe
