Suffer did the Buddha |
|
And suffer did the Christ |
|
And suffer did Isis |
|
When mankind started to write |
|
And through profound suffering |
|
Shines enlightenment's light |
|
So I'm grateful for their struggle |
|
Yes I honor their plight |
|
But me I'm just happy all the time |
|
Yeah me I'm just happy all the time |
|
And I know pain is a teacher |
|
To be welcomed and not feared |
|
Alas pain is your ally |
|
So embrace it while it's here |
|
It's here to open up your eyes |
|
Here to make the way clear |
|
At least that's what I've observed |
|
At least that's what I hear |
|
But me I'm just happy all the time |
|
Yes me I'm just happy all the time |
|
I know trial brings wisdom |
|
And greatness has a price |
|
Just ask Abraham Lincoln |
|
Ask miles davis' wives |
|
And I have great admiration |
|
For those that raise up mankind |
|
But I'm afraid that great gift |
|
Is not meant to be mine |
|
Cuz me I'm just happy all the time |
|
Yeah me I'm just happy all the time |
