Where Can I Buy Happiness ?

Album Running Still, 2011

Where?

Where can I buy happiness?
Does anybody know?
Where can I buy happiness?

I was raised in the desert by an unknown tribe
Had no exposure to the world outside
‘Til I was captured, I was taken to this place
Where the faces are many and they race just like shooting stars!
I miss my home and I know that it's gone
But I don't know how to carry on
In this world where I don't come from
I guess I'll just do the same
Well I got a little money, now I hope I got change!

Where?
Where can I buy happiness?
Does anybody know?
Where can I buy happiness?
'Cause I don't know

Deep in the city where the lights are like a bad dream
There's people selling trees and snow in every window
I heard a story of a man called Christ
And to celebrate his birthday everybody pays a high price
They must keep happiness behind closed doors
'Cause I can't seem to find no happiness store
Is to raise a smile against the law?
'Cause they all look just how I feel
And if they got a little joy then
I'm happy to make a deal
Well I'll beg and I'll borrow but
I'm not gonna steal!

Where?
Where can I buy happiness?
Does anybody know?
Where can I buy happiness?

Where?
Where can I buy happiness?
Does anybody show me?
Where can I buy happiness?
'Cause I don't know

Can anybody tell me?

Where?
Where can I buy happiness?
Could anybody show me
Where can I buy happiness?
'Cause I don't know
