If you want to be happy, be happy

If you want to stay sad, stay sad

I choose to be happy

Happiness will console me

And make my sadness fade away

If you want to be happy, be happy

If you want to stay sad, stay sad

I choose to be happy

Happiness will give light to me

And darkness will disappear

If you want to be happy, be happy

If you want to stay sad, stay sad

I choose to be happy

Happiness will give heat to my cold body

And burn away all excesses

If you want to be happy, be happy

If you want to stay sad, stay sad

I choose to be happy

Happiness will take away every burden

And make me forget my sorrow

If you want to be happy, be happy

If you want to stay sad, stay sad

I choose to be happy

Happiness will give me strength to fight

And declare me as the winner in life’s battles

If you want to be happy, be happy

If you want to stay sad, stay sad

I choose to be happy

Happiness is not defined by what is happening around me

Happiness is what I choose regardless of my situation

If you want to be happy, be happy

If you want to stay sad, stay sad

I choose to be happy

Happiness is choosing to stay calm even in a storm

Knowing beyond all doubts, that everything will be all right

If you want to be happy, be happy

If you want to stay sad, stay sad

What will it profit you, if you stay sad?

You will lose out of life’s wonderful opportunities

You will live in self-pity, and in future, you will regret your decision to ‘stay sad’.
