Happiness showed up today and rang it's bell above the din Long enough to change the spin and turn my wheels around I had driven past my last regret, down the side road of despair Where the answers don't come up for air and grace just can't be found All my fears disguised as truth danced the dark night of my soul But the light of day revealed no proof that God would let me down Happiness showed up today drunk again and full of wit Singin 'let's see how far we can spit and leave those tears to dry' The past is gone and all for naught, the future cannot be controlled And the only moment we can hold is this one going by All those lies I told myself, all those brutal self-hate jabs Makes a heart feel like a concrete slab. well kiss those days goodbye Happiness showed up today, a silver throated mocking bird With the sweetest song I ever heard it flashes across the sky
