Happiness Is Grey Now



IN THIS TIME OF HAPPINESS, WE'VE SEEN A DAY OF SORROW
IN MY YEARS OF LONLINESS, I SEE A NEW TOMMOROW
WHERE HAVE WE COME
WHERE HAVE WE GONE
DAY'S OF HAPPINESS ARE GREY NOW
WHERE IS THE TIME, WHO DREW THE LINE
THERE'S A FIGHTING SPIRIT INSIDE
IN THIS TIME OF MUCH DISTRESS, WE HAVE SEEN THE WORST OF MEN
IN OUR HOMELANDS STRONG FORTRESS, ALL LIVES WE MUST DEFEND
WHERE HAVE WE COME
WHERE HAVE WE GONE
DAY'S OF HAPPINESS ARE GREY NOW
NOW IS THE TIME, WE DRAW THE LINE
THERE'S A FIGHTING SPIRIT INSIDE
God bless the USA
