Of all the thoughts on my mind, none can compare to The feelings of emptiness, despair, and lack of hope Brought to me by the challenge of a new day Why can happiness and I not elope? I always feel like dancing when we re-unite Swaying gently on a breeze Glistening in the light But then fear and dread begin to seize And the next thing I know... I've dropped like lead Cold, hard, motionless I don't leave my bed Days go by before I feel that way again And I'm never sure if it is I who feel it Or some character in a book I read I feel as if I shall go mad and throw a fit Why do I go on? What is the purpose? You have left me. I can't resurface Happiness, my love, where have you gone? Why have thou deserted me?

My People Are Happy
Of all the thoughts on my mind, none can compare to The feelings of emptiness, despair, and lack of hope Brought to me by the challenge of a new day Why can happiness and I not elope? I always feel like dancing when we re-unite Swaying gently on a breeze Glistening in the light But then fear and dread begin to seize And the next thing I know... I've dropped like lead Cold, hard, motionless I don't leave my bed Days go by before I feel that way again And I'm never sure if it is I who feel it Or some character in a book I read I feel as if I shall go mad and throw a fit Why do I go on? What is the purpose? You have left me. I can't resurface Happiness, my love, where have you gone? Why have thou deserted me?
