Happy by Mocca

.Life is just a bowl of cherries

Sometimes it’s afraid filled with worries

Don't be afraid

When things go wrong, just be strong

When things seem up in the air

And everything is so unfair

And you stumble and fall

Just pick yourself up and sing

If one day you lose your way

Just remember one thing, my Friend

When you’re under a cloud

Just visit music and sing

If one day you lose your way

Just remember that I'm here to stay

Don't you give up, keep your chin

up And be happy
