Happiness Runs (Pebble and the Man) Lyrics by Mary Hopkin

Post Card (bonus track version)

1969

[Verse 1]
Little pebble upon the sand
Now, you're lying here in my hand
How many years have you been here?
[Verse 2]
Little human upon the sand
From where I'm lying here in your hand
You to me are but a passing breeze
[Bridge]
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land you may find yourself
Now, you have my blessing, go your way
[Pre-Chorus]
La, la-la, la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la, la, la-la, la-la-la, la
[Chorus]
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
All our souls are deeper than you can see
You can have everything if you let yourself be
[Refrain]
Everybody is a part of anything, anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be
[Post-Chorus]
Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs
[Chorus]
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
All our souls are deeper than you can see
You can have everything if you let yourself be
[Refrain]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, let yourself be
[Post-Chorus]
Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs
