Happy To Be Here

Happy to be here

                                        Is there someone you know
                                         who's dark days only grow
                             And they can't say, they're happy to be here

                                     When a bright, new day breaks
                                        but, they're afraid to awake
                             And they won't say they're happy to be here

                              And they can't say they're happy to be here

                                         There's a rainbow, it's true
                                           it's color's,   fading hues
                                    And they can't find any joy in living

                                           And a bird when it sings
                                            doesn't mean anything
                               There's no meaning in their song of beauty

                                       ooh and I feel bad for them......
                                       ooh and I feel bad for them......

                                            And their friends, family
                                          just want them to be free
                          but their thoughts, keep them enchained, in prison
                          
                                      When their hands and their feet
                                          have been bound endlessly
                                    and their only companion is sorrow

                                             And a new day is born
                                             but they feel so forlorn
                                 and the voices just bellow with laughter

                                And they can't say their happy to be here
                  
                                        oooh and I feel bad for them
                                        oooh and I feel bad for them

                                               Every day is a task
                                         so they put on new masks
                            so that no one can see,  they've been crying

                                            Like the tears of a clown
                                             when no one is around
                               How can anyone know what they're feeling?
                             
                                         oooh and I feel bad for them
                                         oooh and I feel bad for them

                                           And they say there's a pill
                                             but they haven't the will
                                   they say no pill, can fill, all their empty

                                              So they live day to day
                                         and they hope and they pray
                               Please forgive me God, for what I'm thinking
                                                
                                           oooh and I feel bad for them
                                           oooh and I feel bad for them

                                             So you go the next day
                                        want to wipe their tears away
                               but, you get there, far too late, to save them

                                           oooh and I feel bad for them
                                           oooh and I feel bad for them


                                        They     just     couldn't      say, 
                                                    they're    happy    
                                                             to  
                                                             be   
                                                           here!
