Hope For Happiness - Soft Machine

I can tell like the ring of a bell

A chime that is clear and true

But if a crack, the sound is flat

Like happiness that’s become untrue

Out of the East, the sun flew West

Trailing its golden spray

My heart burns, when fortune turns

The trail to light my way

Days go by, I watch the sky

My eyes forever quest

The sun returns, though my hope yearns

Forever things point the rest

Sun heart burns, moon glow turns

Stars will trade hope for happiness

Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness

Flowers grow wild, just for the child

Sniff this sprinkling bloom

When you grow up, hope colours up

The things that cause us gloom

Tell can you now how fun is made?

It’s how happiness is really found

Look for advice, be told more than twice

By people all around

Sun heart burns, moon glow turns

Stars will trade hope for happiness

Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness
