The City of Emotions

The heart is like a very small city

Where different emotions live

On the street of Second Chances

Lives the emotion we call Forgive

A little farther down the road

Lives the emotion we call Regret

He lives on the street of I'm Sorry

Just in case you forget

Then after a block or maybe two

Things really start to advance

For Love is found around the corner

Where he lives on the street of Romance

Hate and Anger both share a room

But they really don't get along

Hate can't stand to look at Anger

And Anger just screams, "You're wrong!"

Then we find the emotion of Envy

But he wants what the others have got

His next door neighbor is confusion

He lives on the street of Forgot

Then down on the street of Heartache

Lives Sadness, the one who lives on her own

For no one ever comes to see her

But she's used to being alone

Last but not least is the emotion called Joy

Who lives on Happy Street

She gets along with everyone else

And with anyone she'll ever meet

The heart is like a very small city

With our emotions living there

And for as long as the heart continues to beat

These are the ones we'll share
