Paul Gordon - The Secret of Happiness lyrics

[Jerusha Abbott] You know, Daddy, it isn't the big troubles in life that require character Anyone can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage But to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh? I really think that requires spirit I've discovered The secret of happiness is Learning how to glide I've discovered The secret of happiness is Just enjoy the ride Don't let the journey be tainted by pride And I've discovered The secret of happiness is Not to mourn the past I've discovered The secret of happiness is Not to run too fast You can still beat them By coming in last 'cause The secret, the secret of happiness is I've discovered The secret of happiness is Not to be afraid I've discovered The secret of happiness is All illusions fade Don't fear the future You'll just be delayed 'cause The secret, the secret of happiness is Living in the now Living in the time it takes to blink I think, is how Is how we're meant to be living I've discovered The secret of happiness is Following my will I've discovered The secret of happiness is That we can run that hill Happiness comes when we learn to be still And the secret, the secret of happiness is The secret of happiness is clear The secret of happiness is near The secret of happiness is here
