Wonderful Life -- Mathilde Santing

Here I go out to see again  The sunshine fills my hair  And dreams hang in the air
Look at me standing  Here on my own again  Upstraight in the sunshine
No need to laugh and cry  It's a wonderful wonderful life
No need to run and hide   It's a wonderful wonderful life

Gold's in the sky and in my blue eye  You know it feels unfair  There's magic everywhere
And I need a friend, oh I need a friend  To make me happy  Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing  Here on my own again  Upstraight in the sunshine

No need to laugh and cry  It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Look at me standing  Here on my own again  Upstraight in the sunshine

Buddhism  Happiness forms a central theme of Buddhist teachings. For ultimate freedom from suffering, the Noble Eightfold Path leads its practitioner to Nirvana, a state of everlasting peace. Ultimate happiness is only achieved by overcoming craving in all forms. More mundane forms of happiness, such as acquiring wealth and maintaining good friendships, are also recognized as worthy goals for lay people 

Buddhism also encourages the generation of loving kindness and compassion, the desire for the happiness and welfare of all beings.     (From  Wikipedia)
