The basket song

My basket’s all empty
I’d filled it with memories
But now it is empty, they’re gone
I’d left it all open
I think they got stolen
So I need to make some new ones

Oh
I want to be hopeful 
I want to be kind
I want to get out of
My sad little mind

I’m trying my hardest
I want to be found
I think I’ll stay afloat
But what if I drown?

My basket’s all ready
To be filled up anew
I am still waiting,
I don’t know, for whom

Oh
I want to be hopeful 
I want to be kind
I want to get out of
My sad little mind

I grasp at the breeze
For bubbles to pop
I’m thankful for heartbeats
Which did not stop

I stand with my basket
I stand here alone
I am not empty
I will soon go home

Yes I will make memories
I will find friends
I will smell roses
And happiness

I will come back once
I’m empty again
I’ll sing my sad song
And rest in my pain

Goodbye, passer-by
You have been kind
You listened to my song
I’d lost my mind

Maybe another day
I’ll run into you
For now, I’m happy
I wish you are, too!
