Lyrics
What am I longing for is some happiness
What am I longing for is some happiness, mmm
Happiness is wen yuh share Jah love wid one another
Happiness is wen yuh, party together
You got the youths on dis side of the globe
They can't get no time to fresh
Because of all of the distress
That the society leaves
What am I longing for is some happiness
Yes
Happiness is wen yuh give Jah praises
Happiness is wen yuh live with a free mind
Oh-oh, yeah
So long we've been living an we can't unite
You got the youths suffering from
Sophisticated diseases, mm-hmm
You don't got the constitutional right
To rule over I and I
Babylon, sure gonna fall to the bottomless pit
What am I longing for is some happiness
Whoa, oh
What am I longing for is some happiness
There's no mercy
To those who have ability
And don't use it
Waste it
I would like to go
All over the world, whoa-oh
From Germany to France
Tokyo maybe
Mmm, happiness, happiness, happiness
What am I longing for is some happiness
What am I longing for is some happiness
'Cause happiness is wen yuh wave to each other
And happiness is wen yuh cheer up one anodda
Whoa-oh, yeah
Youths on dis side of the globe
They can't get no time to fresh
Because of the distress
That the society leaves
Mmm oh, woi
What am I longing for is some happiness
What am I longing for is some happiness
Happiness is wen yuh party together
Happiness is wen yuh give Jah praises
Happiness is wen yuh cheer up one another
Happiness is wen yuh go to many places
Oh, oh, oh
Mmm
Longing for, happiness
Once my bredren
Happiness is
Whatever you make it
As long as it, it is not bad, oh no
Mmm
