Analysis of Happiness Planet Wide



Focus on the brighter side
Look at what is right
See happiness planet wide
Keep your spirit light
Boogie like a bouncy flash
Hop on what is right
Prance an energetic bash
Lift your soul in flight
Croon an optimistic beat
Hum for what is right
Air a tune on easy street
Let your heart ignite
Unite with a joyful crowd
Join in what is right
Meet upon a magic cloud
Mingle all your might
Laugh at the sorry report
Smile on what is right
Chuckle as the last resort
Find your own delight
