It's wonderful to be alive,
Or so they say,
I'm not sure I feel that way.
Each day is a struggle,
So much work done in vain,
Only to have to start all over again.
Happy world,
Happy world,
I want to live in a happy world.
Happy world,
Happy world,
I want to live in a happy world.
I'm tired of trying,
I'm tired of the strain,
I'm tired of starting all over again.
It's wonderful to be alive,
Or so they say,
I wish I could feel that way.
