Bluebird of Happiness

by Peter Williams   Jun 3, 2005


My life has no meaning,
It has no direction.
Where am I going?
Will I ever get there?
Am I in a hurry to get there?
This depression......
This silence.
Ha!
I'm sick of it.
I don't want to mope,
I don't want to pout,
I don't want to cry.
Enough!
Life is only good if you are living it.
I have wasted half of my life figuring that out.
What was I doing in that time?
I certainly wasn't living......
Hardly.
Oh bluebird of happiness.
Come take me away,
So that I may fly off with you into the sun,
Into freedom.
The demon days are over......
I've had enough.
For just once I want to be happy,
Happy like I was before,
Before the weight of the world crushed my dreams,
Crushed my spirit.
I deserve to be happy,
So I must go out there and find happiness for myself.
I've waited so long for it to come to me.......
That I've given up on waiting.
Oh bluebird of happiness.
Why do you chirp to me?
Why do you sing to me?
What are you trying to tell me that no one else can?
Is my luck going to change?
Will good fortune finally come to me?
Will my life change......
For the better?
Oh bluebird of happiness.
You give me hope,
When there is none.
I need hope in my life,
I need love.
What are you trying to tell me?
I am listening......
I've always been listening.
Not only with my ears,
But with my eyes,
With my heart,
With my soul.
Don't disappoint me......
It has happened before.
I got my hopes up,
And they came crashing down.
Oh bluebird......
Give me hope,
Give me dreams,
Give me love,
Give me life.
Oh bluebird......
Give me happiness.
