(verse)
The beggar man and his mighty king are only diff'rent in name,
For they are treated just the same by fate
Today a smile and tomorrow tears,
We're never sure what's in store,
So learn your lesson before too late, so
(refrain)
Be like I, hold your head up high,
Till you find a bluebird of happiness
You will find greater peace of mind
Knowing there's a bluebird of happiness
And when he sings to you,
Though you're deep in blue,
You will see a ray of light creep through,
And so remember this, life is no abyss,
Somewhere there's a bluebird of happiness
Life is sweet, tender and complete
When you find the bluebird of happiness
You will find perfect peace of mind
When you find the bluebird of happiness
Two hearts that beat as one,
'Neath a new found sun,
We are in a world that's just begun,
And you must sing his song, as you go along,
When you find the bluebird of happiness
From: Gloria "Montcomags"
