You don’t have to be famous, just an ordinary soul
If contentment and happiness are your goal
Simply choose to be happy whether you are young or old
Choose to be happy even if you have no money or gold
You may not be beautiful, talented, intelligent, or bold
Just like the way god made you—in an unusual mould
Life will definitely take you through highs and lows
But remember God will always give you somewhere to hold
When luck deserts and troubles may multiply
Or when money is really short awhile
Look out-there will be friends or family by your side
Be happy even if there’s just one loved one to make you smile.
When disaster strikes and there seems no hope
When you lose a loved one and can’t cope
Age catches on and the ailments start
Disappointments threaten to break your heart
When anger, frustration and hurt make you sigh
And life just seems all wrong
Some unexpected happiness will definitely come by
Because your love and faith haven’t gone
Look around you, there are woes aplenty
Each person is looking for happiness-two or twenty
Often cuddle an orphan child, hug a dear one in pain
And then you see your life will surely change
Look inside you and find yourself
Find the power within you that god hid there
Do this and you will never need no external help
And remember nothing works better than the power of prayer
Keep believing in yourself and make your spirit strong
Then nothing can keep you down for long
Be happy ‘cause you can always love and sing
You can’t lose yourself, even if you often feel you have lost everything!
