A Happiness Buffet

I've tried so hard to live my life
As a caring human being
Don't understand all the conflicts
Solutions are so easily seen

Just do away with all the hate
It doesn't seem too complicated
What a triumph it surely would be
If everyone was dedicated

There I go, I'm dreaming again
People must think I'm naive
Don't know why I'm such an optimist
Guess it's just what I believe

Faith that people are basically good
When offered simple choices
They'll usually choose the right path to take
Be damned, those dissenting voices

Call me what you will, my faith is strong
I feel much better this way
To me it isn't a great mystery, my friends
Let's all feast on a happiness buffet!
