Happy

Oh! I wish I could be happy, just like everybody else
To be content with my existence, a-hanging smiles upon the shelf
Not compare myself to others, avoiding poisoned parallels
Oh, I wish I could be happy, just like everybody else

Oh! I wish that I was normal, just like those inside my screen
Where the rain is always absent and the grass is evergreen
But with kaleidoscopes of colour over miseries unseen
Yeah, I wish that I was normal, just like every nobody

No-one said it would be easy
No-one said it would be fair
Oh! It’s good to be here
It’s good to be anywhere

At the top you think you’ve cracked it, loving everything you see
Other times it feels a battle, just remembering to breathe
Not every day can be a great one, but if you manage to get up
Celebrate! Be grateful! That’s the way we measure hope

No-one said it would be easy
No-one said it would be fair
Oh! It’s good to be here
It’s good to be anywhere

Hey hey, don’t hurt yourself today
Hey hey, my my
Hey hey, I’m a million miles away
Hey hey, my oh my

So, now I’m glad that I’m not average, just rotating in routine
Capture the wonders but still relish familiar mundanity
It’s up to you to dig out brilliance, it’s up to you to glean your glee
And that’s the best that we can hope for… reckon I’m happy being me
