A Happiness Buffet

I've tried so hard to live my life As a caring human being Don't understand all the conflicts Solutions are so easily seen Just do away with all the hate It doesn't seem too complicated What a triumph it surely would be If everyone was dedicated There I go, I'm dreaming again People must think I'm naive Don't know why I'm such an optimist Guess it's just what I believe Faith that people are basically good When offered simple choices They'll usually choose the right path to take Be damned, those dissenting voices Call me what you will, my faith is strong I feel much better this way To me it isn't a great mystery, my friends Let's all feast on a happiness buffet!
