Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
I am happy today for the sunshine, For skies of gray or blue; For within my heart is the song of life, I’ll live! I’ll work! I’ll do! No cloud can cast a shadow, Over courage such as mine; And I’ll sing my song as I go along, I’ll live! I’ll work! I’ll do!
