Happy Birthday |
You know it doesn’t make much sense |
There ought to be a law against |
Anyone who takes offense |
At a day in your celebration |
'Cause we all know in our minds |
That there ought to be a time |
That we can set aside |
To show just how much we love you |
And I’m sure you will agree |
It couldn’t fit more perfectly |
Than to have a world party |
On the day you came to be |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday |
I just never understood |
How a man who died for good |
Could not have a day that would |
Be set aside for his recognition |
Because it should never be |
Just because some cannot see |
The dream as clear as he |
That they should make it become an illusion |
And we all know everything |
That he stood for time will bring |
For in peace our hearts will sing |
Thanks to Martin Luther King |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday |
Bridge |
Why has there never been a holiday |
Where peace is celebrated |
all throughout the world |
The time is overdue |
For people like me and you |
You know the way to truth |
Is love and unity to all God’s children |
It should be a great event |
And the whole day should be spent |
In full remembrance |
Of those who lived and |
Died for the oneness of |
All people |
So let us all begin |
We know that love can win |
Let it out don’t hold it in |
Sing it loud as you can |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday to you |
Happy birthday |
(Background Stevie) |
Happy birthday Ooh yeah |
Happy birthday, |
To you |
We know the key to unity of all |
People |
Is in the dream that you had so |
Long ago |
That lives in all of the hearts |
Of people |
That believe in unity |
We’ll make the dream become |
A reality |
I know we will |
Because our hearts tell us so |
