I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy place Seven thousand eyes are watching Marching home and no one’s touching Army of the city workers Secretaries, lawyers, brokers Heading for a London station Heading for a quick salvation Oblivious to cherry cola Trying to sell to every stranger Stuck here it’s cold I’m standing Hoping for some understanding Only way to go is inside I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy place Seven thousand light years travel Let my sense of time unravel Trapped feelings are never ending Send those weaknesses descending Towards the earth’s red center Let the fire rise and enter Tap into the primal power Rising like a giant tower The energy receiving Cut a hole right through the ceiling People getting smaller as you fly I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy Place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place Find a star, send down a beam to where you are An elevator of light taking you somewhere Where you’ll always be loved I have found that stress and nonsense Puts me in zone of avoidance Could my mind be moving faster Pulling like a super cluster Can be hard to trust a feeling But believing ends in seeing We’re going to find a happy We’re going to find a happy We’re going to find a happy place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
