Happier Now

There is an ancient code of the trees
Passed down through the roots
And the stones at the bottom of a river
And it's ours to keep
There's nothing to lose but hope
When we realize the giver
Is stronger than
A group of friends
Politicians and trends
When the crowd leaves
I face empty seats
There's only one who would stay
To watch me

And I used to think people
Would laugh if I tried
And it seemed the complainers
Had happier lives
But the sunsets and clouds
Led me out of this town
Where I'm finally aligned
We are happier now

There is a book on how to be free
One rule that you probably know
So there's no need to repeat it
When it finally meets your life
They'll shake hands and end
All of your unresolved conflict
Drive down the road
I go too slow
Cause I don't wanna go home
Like I'm writing a song
I suddenly hear
A voice telling me not to be condescending

Cause I used to think people
Would laugh if I tried
And it seemed the complainers
Had happier lives
But the sunsets and clouds
Led me out of this town
Where I'm finally aligned
We are happier now

Ooh I don't need to part the sea
New life surrounds me
I was complete, society
Breaks what's lovely
For the rest of days
Build back your heart
In the end you'll find
It's as pure as the start

When a child's open eyes
For the very first time
See the light and the love
Of a mother who cried
Through the sunsets and clouds
Earth is spinning around
In the end floating up
We are happier now
We are happier now
