Be Happy, Be Happy, My Friend

Watching my dreary face;
Once said a sage,
Be happy, be happy, my friend;
You are alien, 
Came from different world;
Seek a dress, 
Made of ribs and flesh;
World is a drama stage,
You act your role;
Sad and fun, bemoan and smile,
All are part of your role;
Relinquish dress and shell,
On accomplishing your role;
Be happy, be happy, my friend,
All are mortal even you;
