Happy After Everything

THE STORY
Relationships are why we're here.  We connect with family, friends, spouses, co-workers, acquaintances.  Building a relationship takes time, compassion, commitment and the patience to maintain and grow a connection with someone else over a long period of time. The myth of and belief in "Happily Ever After" has ruined, what could have been, many beautiful relationships.  No one is happy all of the time.  That's ok.  Sadness and disagreements are part of the process.  They help to reveal the beauty and joy of having someone so valuable and so connected to you that you want them to be part of you for as long as you're around.




THE LYRICS
__________________________
Happily Ever After
is what we're told
 
with sunshine and laughter
our lives will be filled
 
and in the beginning
we want to believe
 
in Happily Ever After
It's what we were sold
 
Happily Ever After
Myth passed through time
 
A shining example
An impossible life
 
and in the middle
we fail to live up
 
to Happily Ever After
a crooked old line
 
Happy in our laughter
Together through the tears
Following the hope that
love's grace sees beauty in flaws
 
Knowing we're not perfect
lifts us when we fall
 
We're not Happily Ever After
but we're Happy After Everything
 
Happily Ever After
An old child's tale
 
The peaks and the valleys
of life are what's real
 
and as we've grown
we've learned to see
 
that Happily Ever After's
a lost fantasy
 
Happy in our laughter
Together through the tears
Following the hope that
love's grace sees beauty in flaws
 
Knowing we're not perfect
lifts us when we fall
 
We're not Happily Ever After
but we're Happy After Everything
 
We're Happy After Everything
