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
And 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 would take them to the nest
And she thought, "If that squirrel can take care of himself
With the 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 'em apart
Carry them off
In a shopping cart
And another thing
You should have known from the start
The problems in hand
Are lighter than at heart
Be like the squirrel, girl
Be like the squirrel
Give it a whirl, girl
Be like the squirrel
And another thing
You have to know in this world
Cut up your hair
Straighten your curls
Well, your problems
Hide in your curls
