SONG FOR DAVID

Hey so you know what it is to be happy
Hey so you know what it is to be glad
So life is a glorious roller coaster
So why do you look so sad?

Everyday is a new day, every moment a joy
Give me a break - life ain’t like that
Don’t try to fool me
Pull wool over my eyes
I know what you’re thinking
I can see through your disguise
The world on your shoulders, the burdens of man
If that’s being happy - well, you can keep it, boy

Hey so you know what it is to be happy
Hey so you know what it is to be glad
So life is a glorious roller coaster
So why do you look so sad?

Time on your hands, you can do what you want
Savour the moment, seize the day
Know where you’re at
Get with the programme
How do you relate to that
All the right phrases and at the right time
I know that you’re searching, finding your way

Hey so you know what it is to be happy
Hey so you know what it is to be glad
So life is a glorious roller coaster
So why do you look so sad?

Don’t let them get you, you can’t save the world
Take care of yourself, treasure your friends
Believe in the spirit of man
Know that we love you
