A thirst that can't be filled, a heart that's oh so cold,
But happy times are here, a story to be told.
With hot sun shining bright, a smile upon your face,
And sadness gone away, to a happier place.

Hungry bellies now are filled, with treats that taste so sweet,
And joy is all around, from head down to our feet.
With laughter and with cheer, and memories to keep,
A world that's bright and warm, with love that runs so deep.

So let's hold hands and dance, and chase away the blues,
With friends and family near, and all the love we choose.
For every moment spent, in joy and peace and glee,
Is a moment filled with love, for all the world to see.
