Happy??

There is often a difference between what you think will make you happy and what actually does make you happy.

August Rush

Evan Taylor:

Listen, can you hear it?
The music, I can hear it every where
In the wind, in the air, in the light, it's all around us
All you have to do is to open yourself up, all you have to do is listen

Where I've grown up, they tried to stop me from hearing the music
But when I'm alone, it builds up from inside me
And I think if I could learn how to play it
They might hear me, they would know I was theirs and find me

Sometimes the world tries to knock it out of you
But, I believe in music the way that some people believe in fairy tales
I like to imagine that what I hear came from my mother and father
Maybe the notes I hear are the same ones they heard the night they met
Maybe that's how they'll find me
I believe that once upon the time long ago
They heard the music and followed it…
