Happiness Is An Option              
             
It is not easy 
It is not easy 

Looking from a window 
At the edge of a house 
At the edge of a town 
It's grey like the day 
When I lost it 
Clouds overhead 
I talked to a flower 
That was almost dead 
My body a prison 
Why did I do it 
Someone want me not to 
But I still went through it 

(Living it upside, you gotta remember, that happiness is an option) 
It is not easy 
But don't give up now 
(So don't give up) 
It is not easy 
Happiness is an option 
(But happiness is an option) 

Needed somewhere to clear my head 
Find some strength a warmer bed 
Maximum love in a minimal world 
I'd never achieved it 
But then I believed it 
So when I lost it - how 
I'm not sure - now 
It was a strange feeling 
Like a law repealing itself 

It is not easy 
But don't give up now 
(So don't give up) 
It is not easy 
Happiness is an option 
(But happiness is an option) 
It is not easy 
But don't give up now 
(So don't give up) 
It is not easy 
Happiness is an option 
(Giving it up, if you are giving it up, if you are giving it up) 

I can wake up in the morning 
And not believe what I see 
Look in a mirror and think 
If that's really me 
I don't think I suit my face 
It's not a catastrophe 
It's more a philosophy 
Like the Russians wondering why 
We're born under a blue sky 
But die in a dark forest 

It is not easy 
But don't give up now 
(So don't give up) 
It is not easy 
Happiness is an option 
(But happiness is an option) 
It is not easy 
But don't give up now 
(So don't give up) 
It is not easy 
Happiness is an option 
(But happiness is an option) 

This is neither old nor new 
It's always forever 
Somewhere between sense 
And ambition 
Pleasure and decision 
We have to make a choice 
What do we want 
Everyone singing 
'War, what is it good for?' 
While planning the next one 

I don't need to win 
You don't have to loose 
We can choose 
Happiness is an option 
(You can choose) 

It is not easy 
But don't give up now 
(So don't give up) 
It is not easy 
Happiness is an option 
(Chris: Happiness is an option) 

It is not easy 
(No, it is not easy) 
The war within us 
(So war within us) 
(So don't give up) 
But it gets easier 
(But it gets easier) 
The more we learn 
(The more we learn) 
I don't need to win 
(I don't need to win) 
You don't have to loose 
(You don't have to loose) 
So don't give up 
We can choose 
Happiness is an option 
(Happiness is an option) 
(Chris: Happiness is an option) 

It is not easy 
(No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No) 
But don't give up now 
(Don't give up now) 
(So don't give up) 
It is not easy 
(It is not easy) 
Happiness is an option 
(Happiness is an option) 
(If you are giving it up, if you are giving it up) 
You don't have to loose 
(You don't have to loose) 
(If you are giving it up, you gotta remember) 
We can choose happiness is an option 
(We can choose happiness is an option)
