The trail to happiness isn't as close as it seems To be exact it's 9175 miles away from me Across the sea Where the Kangaroos and koala bear sleep Why does this pursing happiness Have to be so hard Why is it so far I wish for it to be closer on shooting stars But hope soon fades With the star as it drag races across the sky Dipping beneath the horizon Forever lost in space But I see shooting stars when I get a glimpse of your face My heart races When I hear your voice For a moment happiness is near But soon disappears To be replaced my something we both fear Doubtfulness That happiness will ever be real
