Lyrics:

[When problems overwhelm us and sadness smothers us, where do we find the will and the courage to countinue? 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 dispondency 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've known from thestart the problems in hand are light than at heart be like the squirrel, girl be like the squirrel give it a whirl, girl be like the squirrel and another thing have to know in this world cut up your hair straighten your curls well, your problems hide problems hide in your curls
