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
