[Verse 1]

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 do not matter to me at all

[Chorus]

The sky is blue and the sun is shining

I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds

I am free as a bird and my spirit is flying

That is enough to keep me smiling

[Verse 2]

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

1-800-Change-Your-Life-Today

Dreams, I have got my own; I am not looking for a yellow-brick-road

I am just going to go my own way

[Chorus]

The sky is blue and the sun is shining

I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds

I am free as a bird and my spirit is flying

That is enough to keep me smiling

[Bridge]

Smiling (smiling), smiling (smiling)

[Chorus]

The sky is blue and the sun is shining

I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds

I am free as a bird and my spirit is flying

That is enough to keep me smiling

[Outro]

I am still smiling, got to keep on smiling

I am still smiling
