Hapi Face
Hidden in the mountains down…
…in a valley lives a town
Living happy here with me
Living happy living free
As I walked through at my pace
Noticed on the people’s face
No one had a single frown
“Welcome to Hapi Town.”
A smile here and a smile there
There was a smile everywhere
They shared and they cared.
To break a law they never dared
They were kind and very hospitable
To harm there guest seemed impossible
But unknown to me beneath my eyes
I was in a town of lies.
Now this may seem to be folly
The town was truly melancholy
Sorrow sunk deep within
Secret regret of all their sins
Instead of fame they lived in shame
With no one in the world to blame
No one to blame but they
Who created disaster every day
They were sure they’d go insane
So to block away the pain
They painted their frown away
And drew on a smile every day
Here looks like a happy place
When you put on a happy face
Doesn’t matter what they say
People like you better that way
Doesn’t matter if its fake
Be sure to smile while you're awake.
Just close your eyes and forget
Every deep and dark regret.
When I found out their deeds
All their rules and all their creeds
When the people knew I had known
It wasn’t just scorn they shone
For they concluded what was best
Was to do in their own guest.
And as I was to meet my demise
These simple words flashed before my eyes
They had made a welcome sign
Painted pink, made with pine.
I read the words before I was dead,
“Welcome to Hapi Town.” it said.
