What is the secret to happiness?
Do any of us really know?
Is it a boy, a girl, a family, or dream?
Is anything really what it seems?
Happiness can't be defined
Make your own definition to smile
Laughter, relationships, all that may help
It's the best medicine you can find
Fill your smile with sunshine
Don't confine yourself with tears
Amuse yourself, be full of bliss and cheer
Redefine happiness for yourself
You may just find the key
Nobody can tell you how to live your life
Or how to fill yourself with joy
The secret to happiness
Well, only you know,
Find it. Cherish it. Love it.
And don't let it go
