Walkin' down this old road again
when I can't find a friend
Frightened that I'm empty,
well, that don't make three
It's not the things you have
The more you want, the more you fear
That everything you covered
Happiness, well that's an inside job
It's a lightness of being
Happiness is not ours to control
So take your hopes and your sorrows
I've read the scriptures,
Tried to find love in the back of a car
Watching the clock ticking,
And you say, what in this moment
All you need is right here
Life is short, so don't wait long
Or you'll wind up imprisoned
Happiness, well that's an inside job.
It's a lightness of being
Happiness is not ours to control.
So take your joys and your sorrows.
Happiness, well that's an inside job
It's the lightness of being
Happiness is not ours to control
So take your joys and your sorrows
Happiness, oh, that's an inside job
It's a lightness of being
Happiness is not out of control
So take your joys and your sorrows
Let them all go, that's freedom
