• I like to smile and be happy
    but where did this feeling come from
    was it because I see
    my friends happy too
    I believe I can laugh
    I believe I can venture
    but what brought all
    the happiness
    where did it start

    happiness does not come from pain
    nor can it come from anger
    has it come from the game
    but a game starts from happiness
    where did it come from

    I think while I lie down
    I think when I work
    but I just can't find the right idea
    what brought the happiness to come
    was it because I remember
    all of my happy times
    and took away the bad
    and made no more sad

    happiness does not come from pain
    nor can it come for anger
    has it come from no bad
    but that good had to start somewhere
    where did it come from

    Shall I look back
    will I see bad times
    no, because it had to start
    with happiness
    it had to start with love
    something had to happen that
    brought the first smile
    and one day we will all
    know
