I can tell like the ring of a bell
A chime that is clear and true
But if a crack, the sound is flat
Like happiness that's become untrueOut of the East, the sun flew West
Trailing its golden spray
My heart burns, when fortune turns
The trail to light my wayDays go by, I watch the sky
My eyes forever quest
The sun returns, though my hope yearns
Forever things point the restSun heart burns, moon glow turns
Stars will trade hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happinessFlowers grow wild, just for the child
Sniff this sprinkling bloom
When you grow up, hope colours up
The things that cause us gloomTell can you now how fun is made?
It's how happiness is really found
Look for advice, be told more than twice
By people all aroundSun heart burns, moon glow turns
Stars will trade hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness
