What Is Happiness

What is happiness? Come on, tell me, What does it mean to you, to your soul? Does it exist, or is it just fantasy? And if it's real, then who's in control? Happiness, happiness, nobody's the same, No single shape, no single face, Happiness, happiness, each has their own claim, It's the right to choose your own place. "Money," says one, with a confident grin, "Truth," says another, chasing the light, "Adventure," a third, where the wild roads begin, The fourth wants peace, and calls that peace right. Happiness, happiness, nobody's the same, No single shape, no single face, Happiness, happiness, each has their own claim, It's the right to choose your own place. The fifth one wants children, a home full of noise, The sixth lives for art, for the ecstasy of the make, The seventh just wants to live, simple joys, Look how different, the happiness we all seek to take. Happiness, happiness, nobody's the same, No single shape, no single face, Happiness, happiness, each has their own claim, It's the right to choose your own place. You can't herd us all into one single stable, One kind of joy for the whole human race, Try as you might, but you're simply not able, Happiness, happiness, nobody's the same, No single shape, no single face, Happiness, happiness, that much is plain, It's the right to choose your own place.
