I Want to Be Happy
Spreading Joy: Unveiling the Heartfelt Philosophy in Bob Cooper's Song
Lyrics
I'm a very ordinary man
I acknowledge my ordinariness as an individual.
Trying to work out life's happy plan
I am actively trying to figure out the key to a happy life.
Doing unto others as I'd like to have them doing unto me
I practice treating others the way I wish to be treated myself.
When I find a very lonely soul
When I encounter someone feeling lonely, I make it my goal to be there for them.
Soon be-kinda-comes my only goal
My primary objective becomes providing companionship to the lonely soul.
I feel so much better when I tell them my philosophy
I experience an emotional uplift when I share my life philosophy with others.
I want to be happy
I desire personal happiness.
But I won't be happy
However, I understand that my happiness is incomplete without contributing to yours.
Till I make you happy too.
My ultimate happiness is dependent on making you happy as well.
Life's really worth living
I believe life is truly meaningful when we bring joy to others.
When we are mirth giving
Our existence gains value when we share joy and laughter.
Why can't I give some to you
Expressing a desire to bring joy to the listener.
When skies are gray and you say you are blue
Even in difficult times (skies are gray), I aim to dispel your sadness.
I'll send the sun smiling through
I commit to bringing positivity and brightness into your life.
I want to be happy
Reiteration of the desire for personal happiness.
But I won't be happy
Emphasizing that personal happiness is intertwined with making others happy.
Till I make you happy too.
The core idea that personal happiness is incomplete without contributing to the happiness of others.
When skies are gray and you say you are blue
Reiteration of the commitment to dispel sadness and bring sunshine into your life.
I'll send the sun smiling through
A metaphorical promise to bring positivity even in challenging times.
I want to be happy
Reiteration of the personal desire for happiness.
But I won't be happy
Reemphasizing the interdependence of personal happiness on the happiness of others.
Till I make you happy too.
Underlining that personal happiness is only fully achieved when shared with others.
