Is the Glass Half Full?
A song about framing and perspective - how the way you look at things changes how you feel
There's a glass upon the table, Water halfway to the top, Emma frowns and says, "It's half empty!" Liam smiles, "It's half full, don't stop!"
Is the glass half empty or half full? The way you look can change it all! Same thing, different view, Changes how the whole thing feels for you!
It's raining on our soccer day, Mia says, "Oh no, can't play!" But Sam says, "Look! We'll jump in puddles, And play inside, no muddles!"
The way we frame what happens to us, Can make us sad or make us fuss, Or we can look another way, And find the good in a rainy day!
Is the glass half empty or half full? The way you look can change it all! Same thing, different view, Changes how the whole thing feels for you!
"I have to clean my room," groans Kai, Or "I get to make it nice!" says Ty, Same chore, but different frame, Makes the feeling slide a whole new way!
"Only five more minutes!" or "Still five to go!" "I failed this test" or "Now I know!" The story that you tell yourself, Affects how the whole day plays itself!
Is the glass half empty or half full? The way you look can change it all! Same thing, different view, Changes how the whole thing feels for you!
So when something doesn't go your way, Try reframing what you say, Look for the good, the learning, the light, And your feelings might feel more bright!
Is the glass half empty (or half full?), The way you look (can change it all!), Same thing, different view, Changes how the whole thing feels for you!
