Happiness

Happiness is weightless and floats up like an ember
Through the dust clouds, I remember
Feeling like a drop in a stream down to an ocean
Fighting fading to a ghost, but
Everything will pause and be still
When the weeds are shooting through the floor
The flood comes bursting through the door
The mind can be a whirlwind that whips up all the dust
To cloud our minds obscure our view
Of the love that is around us the warmth of those we look to
I saw dust 'til I saw you, and
Everything will pause and be still
When the weeds are shooting through the floor
The flood comes bursting through the door
The actors are backing out of clear sight
When happiness fades into the backlight
The mind is a whirlwind like a fist fight
Swinging me side to side
Back and forth and back and forth
Everything will pause and be still
When the weeds are shooting through the floor
The flood comes bursting through the door
Come on around, clear these dust clouds
'Cause the days too short to wish away or undersell the words you say
