Merrily We Roll Along

Roller Coaster Country RoadYou never know when you get up in the morning what the day will bring.  And really, isn’t that what gives life its spice?

The trick, if you want to be happy, is to keep an open mind, go with the flow, and as best you can, enjoy the ride.

Today I have a little present for you, a road song to take on your travels:  Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, from his 1981 musical, “Merrily We Roll Along.”

Some roads are soft
And some are bumpy.
Some roads you really fly.
Some rides are rough
And leave you jumpy.
Why make it tough
By getting grumpy?
Plenty of roads to try.

How did you get there from here, Mr. Shepard?
How did you get to be you?

Bending with the road,
Gliding through the countryside.
Everybody: merrily, merrily,
Sing ‘em your song,
