about

Just wanted to cheer up a bit. I was a young person in the 1983 recession and I really struggled. Aside from the general ignoring young people, the only messages I got from mainstream media were about how bad youth unemployment was, how damaging it would be for me etc. And it was . But I survived and thrived. I want to send a message to everyone but especially young people, we can get through. It feels hard, but you'll be ok. So sing it out!!

lyrics

What makes me happy isn't sitting round asking
What makes me happy
What makes me happy isn't waiting for a bluebird
But if I sing and if I bring a little kindness to each day
I seem to find my way

What makes me happy isn't sitting round waiting to be happy
What makes me happy isn't waiting for a change
But if I do something with my hands
they seem to find their own plans they seem to understand,

I'm dancing in the kitchen I'm cooking up a cake
I'm talking on the phone even though my hands shake
I'm gonna make
I'm gonna make
I'm gonna make it today I'm Ok

I'm dancing round the room waving my hair
I've got the camera on in zoom even though I'm scared

And all the bad things that live in the corner
and all of the thoughts that try and keep me smaller
they can go away, or they can stay either way I'm floating
I'm gonna make
I'm gonna make
I'm gonna make it today I'm Ok
