I say happy days we are living,
Well thanks and praise we must be giving, yeah!
This one is life,
Which is the whole apple,
Something smooth..

Life has been lovely, yea-ee,
Couldn't have been better for me.
Life has been lovely,
Takes simplicity to see.
Life has been lovely, yea-eh,
Couldn't have been better for me.
Life has been lovely,
Takes humility to see.

As you see the earth, you know I'm blessed,
Still they search, looking for happiness,
What you got to have and what they done get,
Tell me how does one measure greatness?
Love to see the flowers bloom as the butterflies flirt,
For a little food I see the hands them ah search,
All 'bove these things we inherit from the earth,
'Cause yuh trod it from birth like Selassie I the first.
You see.. life is for I and I to live,
And after life my friend there is nothing to give,
So don't you go, burning your bridge.

Life has been lovely, yea-ee,
Couldn't have been better for me.
Life has been lovely,
Takes simplicity to see.
Life has been lovely, yea-eh,
Couldn't have been better for me.
Life has been lovely,
Takes humility to see.

Once more,
As you see the earth, you know I'm blessed,
Still they search, looking for happiness,
What you got to have and what they done get,
Tell me how does one measure greatness?
Give thanks for all things Jah has sent,
With them all, I'm so content,
Give thanks to Mother Nature and all her friends,
They beautify the earth with such lovely essence.
Ey, where at, so fine you stood your grounds,
How could I have that, and show any signs of frowns,
Don't, violate the laws of nature that's my song..

Lovely, yea-ey,
Couldn't have been better for me.
Life has been lovely, yea-ey,
Takes simplicity to see.
Life has been lovely, yea-ey,
Couldn't have been better for me.
Life has been lovely,
Takes simplicity to see.

So sweet,
As you see the earth, you know we're blessed,
Still they search, looking for happiness,
What you got to have and what they done get,
Oh how does it measure greatness?

Life has been lovely.. whoa oh so lovely.
Life has been lovely.. I mean lovely.

Oh yes,
Love to see the flowers bloom as the butterflies flirt,
For a little food I see the hands them ah search,
All 'bove these things we inherit from the earth,
And yuh trod it from birth, like Selassie I the first,
Hey, joy come in all sort, and, Jah love come in all portion,
Observe the vegetation as ah yuh walk,
Giving thanks to be in this region.
You can't condemn no my friend,
'Cause as you see the earth, you know I'm blessed,
Still the search, looking for happiness,
What you got to have and what they done get,
Oh how does one measure greatness?

Life has been lovely, yes,
Couldn't have been better for me.
Life has been lovely,
Takes simplicity to see.
Life has been lovely..
