Happy

We ate the cafes of Chancery lane We danced Spanish Salsa in the rain We spoke of visiting countries like Mexico Later we listened in tunnels to our echoes In the darkness of the truth We searched for our roots Friends make us happy Family makes us happy Good health makes us happy Wealth makes us happy Love makes us happy, but why? We marched the parades in New York City We attentively listened to war news with pity We sang songs of freedom by great grandfathers As we watched a salient fireworks extravaganza In the discovery of the truth Each made recovery by thoughtful input Living makes us happy Giving makes us happy Good health makes us happy Wealth makes us happy Love makes us the happiest, but why? We sailed the continental slopes of Asia We flew from Japan and ended up in Australia We trekked the sandy lands of the Sahara And in some countries we traveled by car And in a breakthrough of the truth We made friends shaking hands while on foot It takes a little to be happy For some an army of little candy A smile can make one happy Almost everyone wants to be happy Freedom makes one happy Good people make us happy Not those who treat us badly Entertainment makes us happy Love makes us the happiest, but why?
