Happy Birthday Lyrics

Stevie Wonder

You know it doesn't make much sense There ought to be a law against Anyone who takes offense At a day in your celebration
'Cause we all know in our minds That there ought to be a time That we can set aside To show just how much we love you
And I'm sure you would agree It couldn't fit more perfectly Than to have a world party On the day you came to be
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
I just never understood How a man who died for good Could not have a day that would Be set aside for his recognition
'Cause it should never be Just 'cause some cannot see The dream as clear as he That they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything That he stood for time will bring For in peace our hearts will sing Thanks to Martin Luther King
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
Why has there never been a holiday, yeah Where peace is celebrated All throughout the world
The time is overdue For people like me and you Who know the way to truth Is love and unity to all God's children
It should never be a great event And the whole day should be spent In full remembrance Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
So let us all begin We know that love can win Let it out don't hold it in Sing it loud as you can
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
Happy birthday Happy birthday Happy birthday Ooh yeah Happy birthday Happy birthday Happy birthday
We know the key to unify all people Is in the dream that you had so long ago That lives in all of the hearts of people That believe in unity We'll make the dream become a reality I know we will Because our hearts tell us so
Happy birthday Happy birthday Happy birthday ...
