Written partly in response to the many stories Mark encounters through his day job as an ICU nurse. Some people have such unhappy homes and so much harm could be avoided if people could simply ‘make their homes a nice place’.
lyrics
Let yourself be happy
It only takes little things
Let yourself be happy
It only takes little things
Don’t let your heart be troubled
Don’t’ be afraid
Don’t let your heart be troubled
Don’t be afraid
Make your home a nice place
It only takes little things
Make your home a nice place
It only takes little things
Don’t let your heart be troubled
Don’t be afraid
Don’t let your heart be troubled
Don’t be afraid
Little things said, Little things done
They are the down pour of the morning sun
Little things said, Little things done
They are the downpour of the morning sun,
the morning sun
