This tab was already in the archive, but I think this sounds better. I based it on the 
old one though. Just changed a few things to make it sound better and a little more 
accurate.

There it is. It's the first song I've tabbed before. But I had help from Daniel McNeal, 
the guy who tabbed this song before me. Thanks.

Lyrics:

-Verse 1-

THERE IS MUSIC AND LAUGHTER LATELY
AND THERE'S PRAYERS AND PRAISE
THERE ARE REASONS TO BE SO HAPPY 
AND BELIEFS TO EMBRACE 
THERE ARE TIMES TO BE SO ANGRY
I'D RATHER LIE IN THE SUN
IT'S THE SUMMER OF MY LIFETIME 
I'VE BEEN BELSSED WITH SOME FUN

-Chorus-

I'M A SEASON PAST SPRINGTIME 
AND MY LIFE HAS GONE BOOM
KEEP MY EYES ON THE FATHER 
EVERYTHING IS IN BLOOM

-Verse 2-
EVERYTHING WILL JUST GET BETTER
THROUGH THE SEASONS I'LL ROAM
WHEN ALL OF THE MUSIC'S OVER
I WILL GET TO GO HOME

-Bridge-

I DON'T NEED THEOLOGY
TO KNOW THAT GOD'S BEEN GOOD TO ME
HE'S GIVEN ME A FAMILY (AND A PLACE TO LAY MY HEAD)
FLUNG INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN 
I WAS WALKING ON MY OWN 
NOW I NEVER WALK ALONE (IF I DID I WOULD BE DEAD)
I CAN'T USE IT ALL MYSELF 
SO I TAKE IT OFF THE SHELF
HERE IT IS ENJOY YOURSELF (PUT AWAY YOUR DRUDGERY)
USE IT UP, THERE'S ALWAYS MORE
THAT'S WHAT IT'S INTENDED FOR
BE THE LORD'S AMBASSADOR (TO BE THE PLANETS REMEDY)
