How? How? How, how? How?
How? How, how?
No hope left, no end in sight, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
By what we want most in this world it’s easy to feel trapped inside
How you gonna be happy? Make it pay, work all day, you still may be unhappy
How you gonna be happy? Take a pill, then refill, you may still be unhappy
How you gonna be happy? Wish I knew, here’s a clue, it’s on you to be happy
How you gonna be happy? With or without a friend, you depend on the inside
How? How? How, how? How?
How? How, how?
Fate is always spinning its story, none of us know the end
Some to freedom, some to prison, some to never see again.
How you gonna be happy? Tickled pink, you would think, but your shrink cannot find you
How you gonna be happy? Pleased as punch, but my hunch, in a crunch, he’ll forgive you
How you gonna be happy? Even you, something new could come true, if you’re happy
How you gonna be happy? Whether pure or a blend, you depend on the inside
How? How? How, how? How?
How? How, how?
Separated by our secrets, such a lonely place to be
Looking back on days of summer, close your eyes and think of me
How you gonna be happy? Just like you, others do, and they make it look easy
How you gonna be happy? Don’t look now, you knew how, back when you were a baby
How you gonna be happy? What do you say? Come what may, learn to play and be happy
How you gonna be happy? To give in or transcend, you depend on the inside
How? How? How, how? How?
How? How, how?
Light and shadow have a rhythm, come the dusk and come the dawn
Full of light because of people, dark again when they are gone
How you gonna be happy? It’s on you, why don’t you, make the choice, to be happy
How you gonna be happy? Come on now, take a vow, show me how to be happy
How you gonna be happy? Now and then, start again, in the end you’ll be happy
How you gonna be happy? To let go or to mend you depend on the inside
How? How? How, how? How?
How? How, how?
Shame on me for only thinking of myself and nothing more
The deepest joys of life are always in the moment, not before
How you gonna be happy? Sing along, you belong if a song makes you happy
How you gonna be happy? Laugh out loud, it’s allowed, do me proud, and be happy
How you gonna be happy? Don’t miss out, bring it out, come on out, and be happy
How you gonna be happy? From beginning to end, you depend on the inside
How you gonna be happy without a toy, without a friend? Without a friend
How you gonna be happy without a toy, without a friend? Without a friend
How you gonna be happy without a toy, without a..
Find what matters and you can be happy
