You know it doesn't make much sense
Or to be alone again
Anyone who takes the fans
At a day in your celebration
Cause we all know in our mind
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 will agree
Gonna 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
Never understood
How a man who died for good
Couldn't have a day that would
He set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
That they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
But instead the 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
Where peace is celebrated all throughout the world
Oh time is overdue
For people like me and you
You know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all god's children
It should 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
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
