The Sound of Happy in Your Neighbourhood
Laughter isn’t lost within the houses
The sound of it penetrates the air
Filling the atmosphere with invisible electricity
That affects all who hear the sound of happy
Shrieks of laughter from high above
As children look down on passer-by’s
Playing hide and seek behind high balconies
That affects all who hear the sound of happy
Music drifting out through walls
In rooms behind closed curtains
Notes that play to all who happen to listen
That affects all who hear the sound of happy
Dark brooding streets aligned with cars
People and dogs walking side by side
Happy tails wagging and bouncing in stride
That affects all who hear the sound of happy
Next time you happen to be in your neighbourhood
Whether visiting friends or your home
Take a moment to listen in
That affects all who hear the sound of happy
