Happiness

Don't you know this old world was made for happiness
Instead we've made it a place of pain and distress
many people still believe
Being alive is a hard endeavour
That this is a life we have to leave
But life goes on forever and ever

Animals and birds are free
They live their lives in harmony
Only man he frets and frowns
Thinks of himself as fortunes clown
On a pathway down

Don't you know this old world was made for happiness
How it might have been we can only guess
So many died and they never knew
Punished themselves with thoughts and emotions
Trying to be the chosen few
Imitating past devotions

Animals and birds are free... etc

Don't you know this old world was made for happiness
So much to be grateful for, so much to bless
The joy of sight and sound and touch
The joy of simply being together
Loving you so very much
And love goes on forever and ever
Ever and ever
Ever and ever
