New DawnKyeremah ‎Smile on me,‎the Sun is awakening.‎Yesterday and today left no crumbs‎We begin from there.‎‎I won't tell you how to live ‎But be happy, ‎be happy ‎‎One step at a time ‎Love, eat and pray‎Give thanks and make merry.‎‎Today will be gone ‎So will you, someday ‎But what will matter‎Is that you lived well.‎‎So be happy,‎be happy.
