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, they 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, yeah
 ♪
 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, you wanna raise your voice
 And sing the song
 Oh yes, we're sailing (sailing on) to the happiness river
 Flows from east, right down to the west
 And if the day is dark or the road is rough
 We'll keep on smiling, we'll go down no more
 Yeah, we're sailing (sailing on) this 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, yeah
 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, fly, fly again
 Fly again, we'll fly again, we'll fly again like the birds
 And you'll come with us
 There'll be no more pain, just one love
