The Happiness Game

(Peter Smothers)
There are far to many of you I simply must conclude
You appear to be trying hard to give the Lord the blues
Keep it up and don't be surprise if you hear Him say
I know where you belong, and I can send you there today

For centuries Our Heavenly Father gave us a message loud and clear
Saying make certain when you do this, your motive is sincere
The same sheriff is in town and he goes by the name of love
Telling us blessing will flow from Heaven whenever happiness echoes above

Happiness is not an orphan, it should never have to look for a home
Give it in a letter, in person, or over the phone
Be the reason for someone's happiness, short-lived or otherwise
An ounce of happiness goes farther than most people realize

Oral snipping is atrocious, especially calling people out of their name
Make people feel better after you leave, then they felt before you came
Access your happiness meter today, it's located within your heart
Spider webs may block your view, but won't stop you from doing your part

The happiness game can be played, now and throughout any year
If you are stuck on a gift, well you have nothing to fear
Your child, love on, or any friend, will light up when they hear you say
They are the reason for the happiness that you are felling today

When they reciprocate, it's gets no better than that
Your heart will give high fives while your smile continues to get fat
Give the devil the blues as you become one of the best
At playing the happiness game, and making the Lord say "Oh Yes"
