Happy Fool Too

Those who live in fear fear to live
Wonders and joys in a world so big
A helping hand can touch a heart
A simple hello makes a friendship start

Happy fool, happy fool
people mock you so
Happy fool, happy fool
they want you to go
Silly it is that a smile is contagious
A joyful soul can calm outrages

Those easily offended like being offended
Rules are straight but happiness is bended
Do what you love and you will love what you do
Remember the Lord and He won't forget you

Happy fool, happy fool
people mock you so
Happy fool, happy fool
they want you to go
Silly it is that a smile is contagious
A joyful soul can calm outrages

The quest for success can leave you blind
Falling two steps from the one you climb
Friends and family can cushion the fall
Perseverance guided by faith trumps all

You can right a wrong but you can't wrong a right
The darkest night yeilds to the morning bright
Failure is not your destination but a stop to rest
It is only a stepping stone on the path to success
In life be good and be true
and you will become a happy fool too
