ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
Jonathon Brannon was born in Las Vegas,NV and resides in beautiful Southern California.
I love writing lyrics. I have written more but only wanted to get what I thought were my best out. I believe in quality not quantity. I am always open to collaborating and look forward to it. Please feel free to submit your reviews. I hope these lyrics touch you in some way. [July 2006]

Half Empty Jonathon Brannon
1st verse:
I’ve seen the roads
And where they go
I’ve felt the rain upon my skin
I’ve sunk below
Into the unknown
Sometimes forgotten where I’d been
But that’s ok
Cause I’m here today
And I’m still standing on my feet
So what do you say
When the storms blow your way
Do you just turn around and retreat
Chorus:
Is your glass half empty
Or is it half full
Do you view life differently
Than others do
What’s here today
Tomorrow gone away
Open your eyes you’ll see
Your glass is not half empty
2nd verse:
I’d see the stars
My dreams seemed so far
There were times when I said I can’t
I’ve done some wrongs
Times I wasn’t strong
That’s just a small part of who I am
But that’s ok
Cause I’m here today
And I’m still standing on my feet
So what do you say
When the storms blow your way
Do you just turn around and retreat
Chorus:
Is your glass half empty
Or is it half full
Do you view life differently
Than others do
What’s here today
Tomorrow gone away
Open your eyes you’ll see
Your glass is not half empty
Bridge: (2x)
Change your view
Bring out the best in you
Change your view
Change your view
Bring out the best in you
Chorus:
Is your glass half empty
Or is it half full
Do you view life differently
Than others do
What’s here today
Tomorrow gone away
Open your eyes you’ll see
Your glass is not half empty
