The Happiness River

Somewhere deep down in Africa
Runs a river, full of mystery
It’s been there since the beginning of time
And they call it the happiness river
People go there to be reborn
And discover the purpose of life
If you take a dip with your worries
You’ll emerge to a new dawn of hope
Oh yes we call it the happiness river
Flows from east right down to the west
And if the day is dark or the road be rough
We’ll keep on smiling; we’ll go down no more
Everyone is in this journey of life
The little ones, the weak and the old
Every man is his brother’s keeper
And every woman is the mother of all
On the road to redemption
There are many who fall by the wayside
But if your soul is pure
And your purpose is right
You come along, raise your voice
And sing the song
Oh yes, we’re sailing the happiness river
Flows from east right down to the west
And if the day is dark or the road be rough
We’ll keep on smiling; we’ll go down no more
Oh yes, we’re sailing the happiness river
Hand in hand, reaching for the sky
And if the day is dark or the road be rough
We’ll keep on smiling we’ll go down no more
Let hate depart from you,
Open your heart today
Let the spirit of love come shining through
We are up like the birds and we’ll fly again
We will fly again like the birds
And you’ll come with us
There’ll be no more pain — just one love
