C.K. Pearse - Always

Always be happy, always be happy
It is so much better that way
When you dread the beginning,
But lament the passing of
Each coming day
Always be, always be happy.

When hope has been stolen from you
And dragged out, lonely years is all
You can see
Just remember, you should always be
Always be, always be happy

When that dull ache
Curdles your brain
And your empty thoughts slowly seep
Into the realm of insane
And you begin to forfeit every crumb of you sanity
Always be, always be happy.

When that voice in your head
Fuses you to your bed,
And empties you so you almost feel dead,
And blinds you, so that you cannot see,
You must always be
Always be, always be happy.

When the time will come
For you to gather that gun
(And do what you always knew
Would have to be done)
You will set yourself free;
Just remember, you will always be
Always be happy, always be happy.

C.K. Pearse
