Happy All the Time

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
