Beth Nielsen Chapman - Happiness

Happiness showed up today
And rang its bell above the din
Long enough to change the spin
And turn my wheels around

I had driven past my last regret
Down the side road of despair
Where the answers don't come off the rear
And grace just can't be found

All my fears disguised as truth
Danced the dark night of my soul
But the light of day revealed no proof
If God would let me down

Happiness showed up today
Drunk again and full of wit
Singing, let's see how far we can spit
And leave those tears to dry

Well, the past is gone and often not
The future cannot be controlled
And the only moment we can hold
This one going by

All those lies I told myself
All those brutal self-hate jabs
Makes the heart feel like a concrete slab
Well, kiss those days goodbye

Happiness showed up today
A silver throated mockingbird
With the sweetest song I ever heard
It flashed across the sky
