"Instead"

Madeleine Peyroux- Album: Bare Bones

Instead of feeling bad
Be glad you got somewhere to go
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy you're not all alone
Instead of feeling low
Get high on everything you love
Instead of wastin' time
Feel good 'bout what you are dreaming of...

...Instead of feelin' broke
   Buck up and get yourself in the black
   Instead of losing hope
   Touch up the things that feel out of whack
   Instead of being old
   Be young because you know you are
   Instead of feeling cold
   Let sunshine into your heart

Choose to be thankful for every little bit.
