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 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 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 voices just bellow with laughter And they can't say their happy to be here 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 is around How can anyone know what they're feeling? 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 the will they say no pill, can fill, all their empty So they live day to day and they hope and they pray Please forgive me God, for what I'm thinking 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, far too late, to save them 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!
