Sunshine Carnation by Coyote Wall (@coyote_wall)

oh i don't want to be sad anymore
i'll wear a sunshine carnation - ride my bike to the store
and when they ask me why 
i don't stay home and cry 
i'll say well now what good is that for
i made my decision - i won't be sad anymore

oh the ducks in the pond at the park know a thing about love
and so does the lean hungry hawk i see circlin’ above
and the young ones will grow 
and they'll soon come to know 
the cruelty they're capable of
well i don't know much but that's what i know about love 

ba da ba bum

well you know i don't want to be sad anymore
i'll pick myself up and clean all this crap off the floor
and carnations will bloom 
all over my room
from the sorrow i had to endure

when i make my decision
i won't sit here wishin'
got no time for such things
i'll go feed my ducklings
and every lost hour
will be a new flower 

cause i won't be sad
yeah i won't be sad anymore
