Take Up a Course in Happiness Songtext
von Stevie Wonder

When life reaches out and takes you
On an unpleasent ride
And your bridge of dreams comes tumblin′ down
Don't let your bed of sorrow ever conquer your pride
Remember there′s always a way out

Take up a course in happiness
Take up a course to clear out your mind
You will show yourself how to smile, yeah
Take up a course in happiness
Take up a free instruction in life
You will learn how to smile


And when your optimism has a setback or two (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you feel all your tryin's in vain
(Your heart's in the rain)
Don′t give up the hope that′s due you
Just to study your doubt, yeah
Remember there's always a way out, hey, hey, heya

Take up a course in happiness
Take up a course to clear out your mind
You will show yourself how to smile
Take up a course in happiness (yeah, yeah)
Take up a free instruction in life (free instruction in life, learn things and free it again)
You will learn how to smile (oh yeah, take a couse)

Take up a course in happiness (yeah, hey, oh yeah)
Take up a course to clear out your mind (show yourself how to smile, yeah)
Show yourself how to smile (all you gotta do, ah, come on, take it, yeah)
Take up a course in happiness (yeah, with a little love in the heart)
Take up a free instruction in life (today, yeah, yeah, ooh, eeh)
(Smile, each, show) you will learn
