When problems overwhelm us
And sadness smothers us
Where do we find the will and the courage to continue?
Well the answer may come in the caring voice of a friend
A chance encounter with a book
Or from a personal faith
For Janet
Help came from her faith
But it also came from a squirrel
Shortly after her divorce
Janet lost her father
Then she lost her job
She had mounting money problems
But Janet not only survived
She worked her way out of despondency
Now she says life is good again
How could this happen?
She told me that late, one autumn day
When she was at her lowest
She watched a squirrel
Storing up nuts for the winter
One at a time
He'd take them to the nest
And she thought
If that squirrel can take care of himself
With a harsh winter coming on
So can I
Once I broke my problems into small pieces
I was able to carry them
Just like those acorns
One at a time
Take all your problems and rip them apart
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Carry them all in a shopping cart
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Another thing you should have known from the start
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
The problems in hard are lighter than at heart
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Be like the squirrel girl
Be like the squirrel
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Give it a whirl girl
Be like the squirrel
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
And another thing you have to know in this world
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Cut up your hair
Straighten your curls
Well your problems hide in your curls
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
And sadness smothers us
Where do we find the will and the courage to continue?
Well the answer may come in the caring voice of a friend
A chance encounter with a book
Or from a personal faith
For Janet
Help came from her faith
But it also came from a squirrel
Shortly after her divorce
Janet lost her father
Then she lost her job
She had mounting money problems
But Janet not only survived
She worked her way out of despondency
Now she says life is good again
How could this happen?
She told me that late, one autumn day
When she was at her lowest
She watched a squirrel
Storing up nuts for the winter
One at a time
He'd take them to the nest
And she thought
If that squirrel can take care of himself
With a harsh winter coming on
So can I
Once I broke my problems into small pieces
I was able to carry them
Just like those acorns
One at a time
Take all your problems and rip them apart
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Carry them all in a shopping cart
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Another thing you should have known from the start
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
The problems in hard are lighter than at heart
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Be like the squirrel girl
Be like the squirrel
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Give it a whirl girl
Be like the squirrel
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
And another thing you have to know in this world
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Cut up your hair
Straighten your curls
Well your problems hide in your curls
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh-Oh Oh Oh
