Happy To Be Here

Happy to be here Is there someone you know, who's dark days only grow, And they can't say, they're happy to be here When a bright, new day breaks, but, they're afraid to awake, And they won't say they're happy to be here refrain And they can't say they're happy to be here There's a rainbow, it's true, it's color's, fading hues, And they can't find any joy in living And a bird when it sings, doesn't mean anything, There's no meaning in their song of beauty Bridge ooh and I feel bad for them...... ooh and I feel bad for them...... And their friends, family, just want them to be free, but their thoughts, keep them enchained, in prison When their hands and their feet, have been bound endlessly, and their only companion is sorrow And a new day is born, but they feel so forlorn, and the echoes just bellow with laughter refrain And they can't say their happy to be here Bridge oooh and I feel bad for them oooh and I feel bad for them Every day is a task, so they put on new masks, so that no one can see, they've been crying Like the tears of a clown, when no one else is around, How can anyone know what they're feeling? Bridge oooh and I feel bad for them oooh and I feel bad for them And they say there's a pill, but they haven't got the will, they say no pill, can fill, all that's empty So they live day to day, and they kneel down and pray Please forgive me, dear God, for what I'm thinking Bridge oooh and I feel bad for them oooh and I feel bad for them So you go the next day, want to wipe their tears away, but, you get there, too late, to save them Bridge oooh and I feel bad for them oooh and I feel bad for them They... just... couldn't... say... they're... happy... to... be... here!
