I wake up in the morning
Put on my clothes and boots
And venture out to face the day
And make it what I choose
My eyes are bright My soul is light
My mind is clear and free
As I contemplate my place in life
And where I\'m meant to be
I have fought and I have suffered
But those are not things on which I dwell
I have persevered and overcome
Now I have my story to tell
I wish that I could tell the world
The lessons I have learned
To help them bring their life around
To the way that mine has turned
Happiness is not a given
Sometimes happiness is earned
Sometimes happiness is fought for
And sometimes it is learned
So for those who search for happiness
Treat every day as new
Always stepping forward
Always walking through
