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
