Oh to be happy

Oh to be happy
Oh to be happy, what I wouldn’t give
for that is the way I want to live
to start each day with a smile on my face
to get through the day at just my own pace
Not to feel angry, so frightened and sad
to face up to a problem, thinking “that’s not so bad”
I don’t want to tremble, to stutter and shake
I want to walk down the road and think “this is great”
But day in and day out it’s always the same
I can’t face real life and I cannot explain
I feel like a puppet no free will no say
something else controls me every day
I’m not strong enough, I don’t want to fight
So I go up to my room and I turn out the light
