Happiness

Happiness showed up today

And rang its bell above the din

Long enough to change the spin

And turn my wheels around

I had driven past my last regret

Down the side road of despair

Where the answers don't come off the rear

And grace just can't be found

All my fears disguised as truth

Danced the dark night of my soul

But the light of day revealed no proof

If God would let me down

Happiness showed up today

Drunk again and full of wit

Singing, let's see how far we can spit

And leave those tears to dry

Well, the past is gone and often not

The future cannot be controlled

And the only moment we can hold

This one going by

All those lies I told myself

All those brutal self-hate jabs

Makes the heart feel like a concrete slab

Well, kiss those days goodbye

Happiness showed up today

A silver throated mockingbird

With the sweetest song I ever heard

It flashed across the sky
