Happy People

Happy people don't cheat
Happy people don't lie
They don't judge, or hold a grudge, don't criticize
Happy people don't hate
Happy people don't steal
'Cause all the hurt
Sure ain't worth all the guilt they feel

If you wanna know the secret
You can't buy it, gotta make it
You ain't ever gonna be it
By takin' someone else's away
Never take it for granted
You don't have to understand it
But here's to whatever puts a smile on your face
Whatever makes you happy people

Happy people don't fail
Happy people just learn
They don't think they're above, push or shove
They just wait their turn
They always got a hand, or a dollar to spare
They know the golden rule, what you're goin' through
Even if they never been there

So if you wanna know the secret
You can't buy it, gotta make it
You ain't ever gonna be it
By takin' someone else's away
Never take it for granted
You ain't gotta understand it
But here's to whatever puts a smile on your face
Whatever makes you happy people

And these days they ain't so easy to find
They're the ones that you want standing on your side
No time for greed, if they need some, give them a slice
And we'll all be happy people

'Cause life is short
And love is rare
And we all deserve to be happy while we're here
