Ways of Being Happy

There are two ways of being happy: We may either diminish our wants or
augment our means -- either will do -- the result in the same; and it
is for each man to decide for himself, and do that which happens to be
the easiest. If you are idle or sick or poor, however hard it may be
to diminish your wants, it will be harder to augment your means. If
you are active and prosperous or young and in good health, it may be
easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants. But
if you are wise, you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich
or poor, sick or well; and if you are very wise you will do both in

Change the World

If I could reach the stars I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart so you could see the truth
That this love I have inside is everything it seems
But for now I find it's only in my dreams

CHORUS:
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world

If I could be king even for a day
I'd take you as my queen I'd have it no other way
And our love will rule in this kingdom we have made
Till then I'd be a fool wishin' for the day

CHORUS:
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world

- GUITAR SOLO -

CHORUS:
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.
