Lyrics

Backyard

I believe in sunny days

Where rain clouds are far away

And there's nothing bad to say

In my own backyard

Where the grass is always green

Like nothing you've ever seen

And I'm peaceful and serene

In my own backyard

Everything is going fast

Try to make the happy last

Gotta slow the world down just a bit

When you feel like turning blue

And you don't know what to do

There is good right there for you

In your own backyard

Everything is going fast

Try to make the happy last

Gotta slow the world down just a bit

You may have to look up high

You may have to look down low

But my friend you gotta know

That all you really need is

Who you are

In your own backyard
