I wish I was a goldfish so I could forget yesterday I wish I was a goldfish so I could swim my troubles away how I wish I was a flower, so you would look at me for hours and maybe put me in your hair How I wish I was a shower, baby, so I could wash away your sorrows and your cares I wish I was a goldfish so I could forget yesterday How I wish I was the rain so I could dance upon your skin How I wish I was a masterpiece that comes from deep within How I wish I was a table, but not your family dinner, ‘cause people shouting and throwing soup at each other is not my idea of fun I wish I was a goldfish so I could forget yesterday I wish I was a goldfish so I could swim my troubles away Ik wou dat ik een goudvis was zodat ik alles om me heen vergeten kon I wish I was a goldfsh so I could forge-e-e-e-et yesterday, yesterday, ooooo yesterday, yesterday!

Do exercise eat healthy food and maybe take up mindfulness or yoga Stop wallowing in self defeat and look up pleasing pictures of pagodas Sometimes you feel really grim like an old crumbly wall you need a plaster Well drink a cup of herbal tea and hopefully feel less defeated after Its easy to be happy when you're happy but when you're sad its harder Inside you feel broken like a plate on the cold stone floor of your dungeon Your heart is beating like a drug fueled rave inside a cave into which you're plunging Beside a lake you see the shapes of all the people that at some point you insulted, accidentally! and out from the darkness come all your past mistakes and back in time you're catapulted, ONE TWO THREE FOUR... Its easy to be happy when you're happy but when you're sad its harder Mae'n hawdd I bod yn hapus pan ti'n hapus ond pan ti'n drist mae'n anoddach Tis makkelijk com blij te zijn als te blij bent, maar als je triest bent is't lastig On helppoo olla iloinen kun oot iloinen, mut kun et oo sen on vaikeampaa Lahko je biti srecen ko si srecen žalostnim je tezje خیلی راحته بخندی وقتی شادی، ولی وقتی غم داری سخته Kheili raahate bekhandi vaghti shaadi Vali vaghti gham daari sakhte Froh zu sein ist einfach wenn du froh bist, doch traurig ist es schwerer Khushi hai kaafi aasaan, jab tum ho khush, par jab udaas hai vo mushkil É fácil ser feliz quando está feliz, mais difícil quando está triste Akassoneyaalé ning kontani kouwo laata kontaano kang, Bari aka diming né ning akolyata Ch‘hal sahla tkoun khelwi ki tkoun khelwi, ki tez‘af chwiya s3iba C'est facile d'être content quand t’es content, mais quand t’es triste c'est plus dur

Empty bars and empty cafes Cinemas without a soul Schools are closed kids are delighted I guess its time to go back home So seeeee you after quarantine I’ll be back, I promise, assuming that I don’t die Seeeee you after quarantine When the world goes back to normal once again Chinese restaurants are closing I guess it’s worse than I first thought Climate change was bad enough Now a pandemic steals our jobs So seeeee you after quarantine I’ll be back, I promise, assuming that I don’t die Seeeee you after quarantine Unless my bus is cancelled And I get stuck in Belgium Stuck in Belgium, stuck in Belgium that’s where I wanna be Stuck in Belgium, stuck in Belgium Living at my friend’s place, for free Stuck in Belgium, stuck in Belgium that’s where I wanna be Stuck in Belgium, stuck in Belgium wouldn’t be so bad, for me See you after quarantine….
