Happiness
I was wailing with the sirens
In a noisy world
Went looking out for silence
That’s when I left the herd

Running from the enemy
But the enemy was me
Till I found the inner chamber
That echoes eternity (echoes eternity)

Now I’m resting head where the stars go to bed
Life fades back from blue to red
As night turns back into day

Here and now where it all began
Here and now I can breathe again
Happiness shouldn’t stay with me
Happiness needs to be

Here and now where the ocean meets the sky
Here and now I leave it all behind
Happiness between you and me
Happiness needs to be
Needs to be shared

Now do you see what I see
And feel what I can feel?
Just scream into the open wild
The freedom can be real (freedom can be real)
So rest down your head where the stars go to bed
Life fades back from blue to red
As night turns back into day
Here and now where it all began
Here and now I can breathe again
Happiness shouldn’t stay with me
Happiness needs to be

Here and now where the ocean meets the sky
Here and now I leave it all behind
Happiness between you and me
Happiness needs to be
Needs to be shared

Needs to be shared
(Come on, come on)
(Come on, come on) oh
Happiness shouldn’t stay with me (come on, come on)
Happiness needs to be (come on)
Needs to be shared
