Happiness is easy to come by
It is in the smile of a stranger
Untainted with fear of danger
In the embrace of a friend
In the softness of that pillow at day’s end
It’s in finding a perfect song
For your current state of mind
In the memories of another time
In people who are warm and kind
It’s in the unfunny jokes which make you laugh
It’s in relooking at your rhymes’ first draft
In the solitude of your home
Of time away from your phone
Bliss is easy to come by
It’s in a state of you
Of shifting the focus to something wonderfully new
It’s in the pitchy songs you sing
And the feel of being a diva begins
It’s when you find
Something beautiful in everything that was unkind
It’s in the folds of a road
In the stories you are told
And the stories of which you’re a part
Stories which touch your heart
Joy is easy to come by
Sit beneath a tree and look at summer sway
Play with the raindrops or let the sun have its way
Let your imagination run free
Ah, the joy of a simple tree
It’s in the dance of the leaves
And the sweat in the warm summer breeze
It’s in the love of life
And the love of delight
It’s under your nose
Already in your sight
Happiness is easy to come by.
I see it in green cars and yellow butterflies
Bliss is easy to come by
It’s in the stories we spin, in truth, in lies
Joy is easy to come by
It’s right in front of your eyes.
And when you see it
Tip the proverbial hat to greet it
I promise it won’t pass you by
It really is easy to come by.
