[Verse 1]
Join our group and you will find
Harmony and peace of mind
Make it better
We're here to welcome you
We're all on a journey to
Finding the real inner you
Make it better (Make it better)
We're here to welcome you
[Pre-Chorus]

We're here to welcome you

[Chorus]

Happiness, how'd you get to find love, real love
Love, love, love
Happiness, how'd you get to be
Happiness, how'd you get to find love, real love
Love, love, love
Happiness, how'd you get to be
Happiness, how'd you get to find love, real love
Love, love, love
Happiness, how'd you get to be
Happiness, how'd you get to find love, real love
Love, love, love
