You wonder why
You're spinning round in circles going nowhere
And though you try
You never seem to find the perfect way
Life is not a riddle
Waiting for solution
Because sometimes two and two can equal five
The answer is
There is no answer
So you've got to try to be happy
That's not what it is
And there's no answer
So you've got to try to be happy
You've got to try to be happy
I wonder why
You try to catch a falling star when there's no reason
No matter how hard
You try to get there

Your chances always seem to slip away
Life is not a puzzle
Because picking up the pieces
Only leads you back to where you started from
The answer is
There is no answer
So you've got to try to be happy
That's not what it is
And there's no answer
So you've got to try to be happy
Try to be happy
You've got to try to be happy
Don't you know that worrying will get you nowhere
In the end you'll never go there
You'll never go
No, no, no, no
You're the treasure no one's found
So let the whole wide world around you know
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And you've got to try to be happy
Life is not a riddle
Waiting for a solution
Because sometimes two and two can equal five
Try to be happy in spite of yourself
Don't you leave your life sitting on the shelf
Stop asking questions about you and me
Got to let it smile and you learn
The answer is
There is no answer
So you've got to try to be happy
That's not what it is
And there's no answer
So you've got to try to be happy
The answer is
There is no answer
So you've got to try to be happy

That's not what it is
That's not what it is
And there is no answer
You've got to try to be happy
So you've got to try to be happy

The answer is
There is no answer
So you've got to try to be happy
That's not what it is
And there is no answer
So you've got to try to be happy
Be happy.
