There's a special art to living,

And you need a frame of mind

That can overlook the showers,

'Til the sun begins to shine.

To develop to the fullest,

You have got to understand,

That things don't always function

In the way that they were planned.


There's a special art to living,

And the challenge must be met,

But the longer that you try it,

Why the better you will get.

Don't waste your time in waiting

For the world to come to you,

You have to climb the mountain

to appreciate the view.
