... If you're happy and you know it clap your hands...

[clap clap]

To see all the people around you falling to pieces and yet be so unable to do anything about their lives, anything to help them, is so disappointing and annoying.

If I had a wish, if I could make a single wish, I'd wish that we were all able to smile and laugh like we used to be able to in kindergarten again. Because those were truly the best times of our lives, where we were all just the best of friends and we were all just uber happy and satisfied in life.

The wishes we used to make, the way we were gullible enough to believe that we would be able to count the stars, the way we tried.

Those memories, so far and so distant now, still brings smiles back to my face. I realise now though that even though I miss being that age, nothing we do nor say can ever turn back time again. Life goes on no matter what, no matter how much we may reminiscize about anything at all. Even if we were to talk about our pasts, the simple fact is that we'd never go back to being carefree or anything anymore.

We've all in some way, changed and matured and developed. And we've all left each other behind. Yet... Every now and then, beautiful memories float to mind, and I'm always reminded of this one song... This one childish, stupid yet altogether endearing song...

If you're happy and you know it
Clap your hands!
(clap clap)
If you're happy and you know it
Stomp your feet!
(Stopm stomp)
If you're happy and you know it
And you really wanna show it
If you're happy and you know it
Clap your hands!
(clap clap)
