Someone Somewhere is not as happy as you

Sometimes in life we feel so blue,
but someone somewhere is not as happy as you.
Somewhere far at the border when a soldier sleeps,
missing his loved ones he silently weeps.
Somewhere a mother painfully sighs,
'cause her new born baby didn't open his eyes.
Somewhere a poor dad silently cries,
when he sees his son begging for a bowl of rice.
Somewhere in an orphnage a little girl is sad,
when she misses her mom and dad.
So at times a reason to smile
you may not have any,
Say to yourself that you are happier than many.
'Cause life is beautiful and it's not always blue,
And someone somewhere is not as happy as you.
