The lyrics for the vocal introduction to this version of this song would be complicated to display. They are different on each of the two channels.
[Verse 1]
I... I can tell (I can tell)
I can tell by the ring of a bell (by the ring of a bell)
A chime that is clear and true
But if it's cracked (a chime that is clear and...)
The sound is flat (a chime that is— a chime— a chime that is—)
(A chime that is clear— a chime— a chime that is clear—)
Like my happiness that's untrue
[Verse 2]
Out of the East, the sun flew West
Trailing its golden spray
My heart burns, when fortune turns
The trail to light my way
[Verse 3]
Days go by, I watch the sky
My eyes forever quest
The sun returns, though my hope yearns
Forever things point the rest
[Chorus]
Sun heart burns
Moon glow turns
Stars will trade
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness
[Verse 4]
Flowers grow wild, just for the child
Sniff this sprinkling bloom
When you grow up, hope colours up
The things that cause us gloom
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
Sun heart burns
Moon glow turns
Stars will trade
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness
