i won’t let you ruin my good mood
no, i won’t let you, not ever, no never

you can rain, i will shine
i know you’re down, i feel fine

there’s more to be found
than a smile or frown

i won’t let your angry dark skies cover my sun
or cast a shadow on my day or way, i will run
i won’t let you, no never, not ever

go ahead, paint it gray or even black
no matter how the card’s are stacked
i know the motto, don’t look back
your mansion may be a shack
but i find riches in lack
and even these words can be seen as another attack

another fine time with friends and the little broken thing
which won’t mend, your heart from a different time
a moment which unforgotten gains strength and relevance
in every situation, how little how small
i won’t let you crush the new growth at all
no, i won’t let you, not never, no ever
