Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD HIHIABAB| IT'S ALL in the way that you look at the world | A |
| It's all in the way that you do things | B |
| With laughter or sorrow your lips may be curled | A |
| But it's all in the way that you view things | B |
| Yes it's all in the way that you journey along | C |
| That makes life a plague or a pleasure | D |
| The mind is the fountain of wailing or song | C |
| And a man is the judge of the measure | D |
| - | |
| It's all in the way that you look at your woe | E |
| And not in the woe that is sent you | F |
| You may bear it with courage and smile as you go | E |
| Or frown and let it discontent you | F |
| For care is a creature that's born of the mind | G |
| And gloom is a cloud we can scatter | D |
| The thorn of the rose if we seek we can find | G |
| But the thorn of the rose doesn't matter | D |
| - | |
| We can make our own sunshine and make our own mirth | H |
| We can add to our trouble by moping | I |
| We can make a grim graveyard of this glad old earth | H |
| By giving up loving and hoping | I |
| For it's all in the way that we look at the world | A |
| Yes it's all in the way that we view things | B |
| With sorrow or laughter our lips may be curled | A |
| For it's all in the way that we do things | B |
