Stevie Wonder - Take Up A Course In Happiness Lyrics

Stevie Wonder Lyrics

"Take Up A Course In Happiness"

When life reaches out and takes you
On an unpleasant ride
And your bridge of dreams
Comes tumbling 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
And you feel all your trying'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

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
Take up a free instruction in life
You will learn how to smile

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