It is not easy
it is not easy
Looking from a window
At the edge of a house
At the edge of a town
Its grey like the day
When I lost it
Clouds overhead
I talked to a flower
That was almost dead
My body a prison
Why did I do it
Someone want me not to
But I still went through it
(living it upside, you gotta remember, that happiness is an option)
it is not easy
but dont give up now
(so dont give up)
it is not easy
happiness is an option
(but happiness is an option)
Needed somewhere to clear my head
Find some strength a warmer bed
Maximum love in a minimal world
Id never achieved it
But then I believed it
So when I lost it - how
Im not sure - now
It was a strange feeling
Like a law repealing itself
it is not easy
but dont give up now
(so dont give up)
it is not easy
happiness is an option
(but happiness is an option)
it is not easy
but dont give up now
(so dont give up)
it is not easy
happiness is an option
(giving it up, if you are giving it up, if you are giving it up)
I can wake up in the morning
And not believe what I see
Look in a mirror and think
If thats really me
I dont think I suit my face
Its not a catastrophe
Its more a philosophy
Like the russians wondering why
Were born under a blue sky
But die in a dark forest
it is not easy
but dont give up now
(so dont give up)
it is not easy
happiness is an option
(but happiness is an option)
it is not easy
but dont give up now
(so dont give up)
it is not easy
happiness is an option
(but happiness is an option)
This is neither old nor new
Its always forever
Somewhere between sense
And ambition
Pleasure and decision
We have to make a choice
What do we want
Everyone singing
war, what is it good for?
While planning the next one
I dont need to win
You dont have to loose
We can choose
Happiness is an option
(you can choose)
it is not easy
but dont give up now
(so dont give up)
it is not easy
happiness is an option
(chris: happiness is an option)
It is not easy
(no, it is not easy)
The war within us
(so war within us)
(so dont give up)
But it gets easier
(but it gets easier)
The more we learn
(the more we learn)
I dont need to win
(I dont need to win)
You dont have to loose
(you dont have to loose)
So dont give up
We can choose
Happiness is an option
(happiness is an option)
(chris: happiness is an option)
it is not easy
(no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
but dont give up now
(dont give up now)
(so dont give up)
it is not easy
(it is not easy)
happiness is an option
(happiness is an option)
(if you are giving it up, if you are giving it up)
you dont have to loose
(you dont have to loose)
(if you are giving it up, you gotta remember)
we can choose happiness is an option
(we can choose happiness is an option)
