Happy Place

Everyone has that place in their head
When life gets tough and they're full of dread
A quiet place of calm and tranquility
A peaceful place of hope and civility
 
You've made a mistake and there's nothing you can do
Your boss is in your face yelling at you
He's not telling you anything you don't already know
You don't want to be there, if only you could go...to...
 
Red brick pathways and antique gas lights
Marble statues and a fountain would be nice
Wrought iron benches and ancient oak trees
A fishing pond and a soft summer breeze
Everyone needs a place in their head
Everyone needs a happy place
Some place all warm, cozy, and safe
Everyone needs a happy place
 
Your car broke down and it's on the side of the road
You're waiting on the wrecker, you need to be towed
How you're going to pay for it you just don't know
Instead of worrying you know you can go... to...
 
A warm sandy beach where the tide is low
Beach umbrella and the pace is slow
Strawberry margarita in a coconut shell
Might be lunchtime, I just can't tell
Everyone needs a place in your head
Everyone needs a happy place
Some place all warm, cozy, and safe
Everyone needs a happy place
 
There's a storm raging in the middle of the night
Power is out, you've got no light
Nothing you can do till the sun starts to show
The best thing you can do is clear your mind and go... to...
 
An old log cabin on a snowy mountainside
By a quiet lake where the big fish hide
A nice warming blaze outside in a pit
Just look around and you know this is it
Everyone needs a place in your head
Everyone needs a happy place
Some place all warm, cozy, and safe
Everyone needs a happy place
