Something to Sing About
Joss Whedon Lyrics

Life's a show,
Life is like a show, everything is staged for us and ready to play our part.

And we all play our parts,
We are all actors in life's play, playing our roles to get through life.

And when the music starts,
When music starts, it taps into our emotions, and we open up our hearts.

We open up our hearts.
Music makes us more emotional, helps us reveal our true emotions.

Its alright if something's come out wrong,
Mistakes happen in life, and it is okay.

We'll sing a happy song,
We tend to celebrate our joys and be happy in tough times.

And you can sing along.
You can join in the happiness or become part of the solution.

Where there's life, there's hope
As long as you have life, things can improve or change for the better.

Every day's a gift,
Each day, we need to see life as a gift and be thankful for it.

Wishes can come true,
There's always a possibility for you to achieve your dreams.

Whistle while you work,
It is essential to keep a positive attitude and find moments of joy and fun while working.

So hard all day.
We work hard to achieve our goals and improve our situations.

To be like other girls,
The desire to fit in and feel accepted by society.

To fit in, in this glittering world.
The idea of belonging in the outside world, which is glamorous and colorful.

Don't give me songs,
I don't want just happy things but something that I can actively engage with.

Give me something to sing about.
Give me something that is more serious and affecting so that I can actively relate to it.

I need something to sing about.
I have to face the harsh realities of life and want something meaningful to contemplate.

Life's a song,
Life can be considered a song, where we don't get to practice beforehand.

You don't get to rehearse,
There's no script or guidelines to life, and we have to embrace each moment as it is.

And every single verse,
Every moment has meaning and consequences.

Can make it that much worse.
The actions we take can make things much worse or better, leading to consequences in the future.

Still my friends,
Even though my memories of heaven are idealistic, my friends do not understand why I long for them.

Don't know why I ignore.
I hide my feelings about heaven from them because I want to forget them and move on.

The million things or more,
There are so many other things in my life that I should focus on.

I should be dancing for.
I should be experiencing life at its fullest, yet I feel unable to.

All the joy,
There is joy in life that we need to embrace.

Life ends.
But ultimately, life must come to an end.

Family and friends,
The people that we cherish can help us go through life's ups and downs.

All the twists and bends,
Life can throw curveballs at us, and we need to be prepared to face them.

Knowing that it ends.
We need to accept the reality that life will come to an end.

Well that depends.
The outcome of our lives depends on the choices we make and the paths we take.

On if they let you go,
Whether we will be allowed to stay in heaven or sent back to the real world relies on external forces.

On if they know enough to know,
It depends on whether the higher powers know what's best for us.

that when u vow,
When we make certain promises or vows, we need to fulfill them.

You leave the crowd.
To lead a virtuous life, we need to be different from the crowd, where temptation may take over.

There was no pain.
In heaven, I did not experience the suffering and pain of the real world.

No fear,
In heaven, I was fearless and content.

No doubt,
In heaven, there was nothing to be doubtful or uncertain about.

Till they pulled me out,
I was forcefully pulled out of heaven, and it has affected me deeply.

Of heaven.
The paradise that we all wish to attain someday.

So that's my refrain,
This is a recurring theme for me, needing something meaningful to contemplate and cope with my situation.

I live in hell,
My life now is a real torment for me.

Cause I've been expelled from heaven.
Being thrown out of heaven has condemned me to a life that I'm not prepared for.

Life's not a song,
Life is not always a happy, joyous thing as we imagine it to be.

Life isn't bliss
Life does not offer perfect happiness.

Life is just this,
Life is not what we expect, but it's what it is.

It's living.
It is akin to the persistent act of living that we have to carry out despite the hardships.

You'll get along,
We will get through it as best as we can.

The pain that you feel
The pain we experience is real, and we must learn to deal with it.

Only can heal,
Only with time can pain eventually heal.

By living.
The act of living life will help us move towards a better future.

You have to go on living,
Despite anything that may occur in our lives, we must continue living.

So one of us is living.
As long as one person is alive, there is still hope and the chance for happiness in life.
