Eternal Happiness
by Bo Morgan

WELCOME TO HAPPY COMMUNITY LAND

Come on down little boys and little girls
Pack your picnic baskets, pack them like squirrels.

I’m gonna tell you a story and you’ll need to listen close.
All stories begin with a toast, so we’ll need to make a toast.

Let me make a toast, “Long live the king.”
All stories begin with a journey so we’ll need to pack our bags.

THE PREPARATION AND JOURNEY THERE

What am I gonna pack in my bag?
What am I gonna pack in my bag?
Take me eternal happiness.
There’s nothing to prepare.

What am I gonna pack in my bag?
What am I gonna pack in my bag?
Take me eternal happiness.
There’s nothing to prepare.

SUPER AMAZING PEACEFUL LAND

How do we know when we’re there?
What do we do now that we’re here?
Are you here?
I love this place.

THE CELEBRATION AND JOURNERY HOME

No desire to disturb you, but there’s a party to be had.
We’ve been and seen, and stories they’ll tell
Take you friends by the hands and dance all around.
The challenge here in the end was clear and peace and happiness from the Earth sprung forth.

What do I have now that I did not have then?
Oh but wait, only half of the journey is complete.
A celebration is in order and a feast will be prepared.
Song will be sung. “Welcome home, welcome home.”

RETURN TO HAPPY COMMUNITY LAND

Welcome back my friend, I hope to find you well.
There’s everything to say, and only time for talk.
Let’s go grab a tree.
Let’s go grab a tree.

Welcome back my friend, I hope to find you well.
There’s everything to say, and only time for talk.
Let’s go grab a tree.
Let’s go grab a tree.
