Hope For Happiness
I can tell...
I can tell by the ring of a bell
A chime that is clear and true
But if it's cracked, the sound is flat
Like happiness that's untrue
Out of the East, the sun flew West
Trailing its golden spray
My heart burns, when fortune turns
The trail to light my way
Days go by, I watch the sky
My eyes forever quest
The sun returns, though my hope yearns
Forever things point the rest
Sun heart burns
Moon glow turns
Stars will trade
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness
Flowers grow wild, just for the child
Sniff this sprinkling bloom
When you grow up, hope colours up
The things that cause us gloom
Tell can you now how fun is made?
It's how happiness is really found
Look for advice, be told more than twice
By people all around
Sun heart burns
Moon glow turns
Stars will trade
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness
I can tell by the ring of a bell
A chime that is clear and true
But if it's cracked, the sound is flat
Like happiness that's untrue
Out of the East, the sun flew West
Trailing its golden spray
My heart burns, when fortune turns
The trail to light my way
Days go by, I watch the sky
My eyes forever quest
The sun returns, though my hope yearns
Forever things point the rest
Sun heart burns
Moon glow turns
Stars will trade
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness
Flowers grow wild, just for the child
Sniff this sprinkling bloom
When you grow up, hope colours up
The things that cause us gloom
Tell can you now how fun is made?
It's how happiness is really found
Look for advice, be told more than twice
By people all around
Sun heart burns
Moon glow turns
Stars will trade
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness
