[Verse 1]
The cover of a magazine, nothing but a paper dream
Just another fantasy for sale
Telling me what I need, what I should do, who I should be
That stuff do not matter to me at all

[Chorus]
The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I am free as a bird and my spirit is flying
That is enough to keep me smiling

[Verse 2]
Guru man on my TV set, selling the secrets to happiness
1-800-Change-Your-Life-Today
Dreams, I have got my own; I am not looking for a yellow-brick-road
I am just going to go my own way

[Chorus]
The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I am free as a bird and my spirit is flying
That is enough to keep me smiling

[Bridge]
Smiling (smiling), smiling (smiling)
[Chorus]
The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I am free as a bird and my spirit is flying
That is enough to keep me smiling

[Outro]
I am still smiling, got to keep on smiling
I am still smiling
