Chrysanthemum Song

Amber Rubarth


I found a little pot
Took it in the kitchen
And filled it 
With some dirt
Planted 
A chrysanthemum
And you should've seen 
How it turned 
My mood to yellow
It turned my mood 
To yellow in a day

I read about a boy
Who suffered depression
His parents hung a mirror
Inside his bedroom
And they made him smile 
At it three times a day
'Til it took 
His depression away

And it goes to show 
That there's a natural way
Of healing 
What we're feeling inside
It goes to show 
That before we prescribe
We should first try 
A simple smile

So I drive out 
To the middle
Of nowhere 
And I turn little
As I stare up 
At the stars in the sky
And these heavens erase 
Any worries I face
If I look up 
Once in a while

And it goes to show 
That there's 
A natural way
Of healing 
What we're 
Feeling inside
It goes to show 
That before 
We prescribe
We should first try 
A simple smile
Give it a
Smile, smile, smile
Just a little
Smile, smile, smile
