The cover of a magazine, nothing but a paper dream

Just another fantasy for sale

Telling me what I need, what I should do, who I should be

That stuff don't matter to me at all



The sky is blue and the sun is shining

I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds

I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying

That's enough to keep me smiling



Guru man on my TV set, selling the secrets to happiness

1-800-Change-Your-Life-Today

Dreams, I've got my own; I ain't looking for a yellow-brick-road

I'm just gonna go my own way



The sky is blue and the sun is shining

I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds

I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying

That's enough to keep me smiling



Smiling (smiling), smiling (smiling)



The sky is blue and the sun is shining

I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds

I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying

That's enough to keep me smiling



I'm still smiling, gotta keep on smiling

I'm still smiling
