Happiness Is Not a Given

I woke up this morning

And joy was a knife

A cloud shifted in me

Torn out from the sky

I fell into chasms

A black marble night

I found myself in a lost paradise

You said

I'll be the door

You can open up

Into the arms

Of an ocean

Don't go kicking and screaming

You've got to believe that there's more

In a field full of ravens

A scarecrow takes flight

I kissed the horizon

And rode on for miles

All the colors kept changing

The paint wouldn't dry

A new shade of green

In this lost paradise

And I'll be the door

You can open up

Into the arms

Of an ocean

Don't go kicking and screaming

You've got to believe that there's more

Happiness is not a given

Happiness is not a given, given

Happiness is not a given, given, given

Happiness is not a given, given, given

Happiness is not a given, given, given

Oh, happiness is not a given, just give it, give it

Happiness is not a given, given

I'll be the door

You can open up

Into the arms

Of an ocean

Mmm

Mmm
