If you want to be happy, be happy
If you want to stay sad, stay sad
I choose to be happy
Happiness will console me
And make my sadness fade away
If you want to be happy, be happy
If you want to stay sad, stay sad
I choose to be happy
Happiness will give light to me
And darkness will disappear
If you want to be happy, be happy
If you want to stay sad, stay sad
I choose to be happy
Happiness will give heat to my cold body
And burn away all excesses
If you want to be happy, be happy
If you want to stay sad, stay sad
I choose to be happy
Happiness will take away every burden
And make me forget my sorrow
If you want to be happy, be happy
If you want to stay sad, stay sad
I choose to be happy
Happiness will give me strength to fight
And declare me as the winner in life's battles
If you want to be happy, be happy
If you want to stay sad, stay sad
I choose to be happy
Happiness is not defined by what is happening around me
Happiness is what I choose regardless of my situation
If you want to be happy, be happy
If you want to stay sad, stay sad
I choose to be happy
Happiness is choosing to stay calm even in a storm
Knowing beyond all doubts, that everything will be all right
If you want to be happy, be happy
If you want to stay sad, stay sad
What will it profit you, if you stay sad?
You will lose out of life’s wonderful opportunities
You will live in self-pity, and in future, you will regret your decision to ‘stay sad’.
