Mick Lines (! 7th July 1954 / England)
The Land of Happy Tears
In the land of happy tears
Where radiant spirits drive out fears
Where hope is humbled and faith roams free
Where Gods great family chose to be
In the garden of happy tears
Dreams are sown for future years
To sprout and grow when time is right,
In autumn years
In life’s twilight
In the house of happy tears
Fellow travellers will oft appear
Till once again they restless wake
Then choose another path to take
So, where, you ask, might this place be?
This wondrous place you’d love to see
The place you seek is…… oh! So near
The land of happy tears is here….
