Better on the Drums - The Happy Song

Why is it so hard to write
Songs of happy times
Why do we look back and pull from
Darkness we’ve survived
When our moment is now
And it’s all that there is
Why don’t we revel in this

If the sun is shining in December
Why do we force ourselves to remember
Times that were darker and grey
And why do we expect the winds to blow
And the storms to come and the light to go
When there isn’t a damn cloud in the sky today

I wanna tell a happy story
I wanna sing a happy song
I’m gonna do it right this second
Before this second is forever gone
I wanna let it pour out of me
I want the love that’s here and now
I wanna share it with all who want it
And this is the way that I know how

How much grieving do we need
To wash away the crime
What if I told you spirit doesn’t
Bother much with time
That it’s already done and it’s alright to smile
That no one will judge you if you leave it behind you
And decide that you’re just fine

Though the past contrast of sorrow
Makes sweeter the sweetness of tomorrow
Contrast of sad past is gone
And though it may seem that we need to dwell
And to cry our tears to fill up our well
Hell it isn’t where our minds and hearts belong

So I wanna tell a happy story
I wanna sing a happy song
I’m gonna do it right this second
Before this second is forever gone
I wanna let it pour out of me
I want the love that’s here and now
I wanna share it with all who want it
And this is the way that I know how

We belong in the light of today
To ring in the now
The now in which we vibrate
Only for the blink of an eye and then it fades
It fades away
Be grateful make way for a change

And if you believe
That we create what is and all that will ever be
Then you may find
You may find like me
That its reason enough and it’s pleasing enough
To just breathe
And be happy
Just be happy
