Now I’ve Been Happy Lately…

by Jennifer on July 9th, 2007

Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Peace & Love Welcome

Oh I’ve been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it’s going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Now I’ve been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it’s getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it’s not so far from you
And it’s getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Now I’ve been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can’t we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Okay, I’m embarrassed that I’m just barely reading anything on this music blog. Partially because I’m a big music fan, but also because I’m a big Jennifer fan. Please forgive me, Jennifer.

Totally pointless, but if you’re into “mondegreens,” for many years I thought the first two lines of the chorus were: “These strings sounding louder / right off of these strings.” Not that funny or anything, but your post made me think of it. So I shared. So there.

Geez, I barely read all my blogs; I don’t expect everyone to read all of them. Nothing to forgive. I am happy to have a new visitor. Start ups are lonely. Also, smarty mondogreens are way confusing. I get them, sort of, but not enough to know exactly what you mean, I remember that mondogreen is a mondogreen from some over zelious lit/speech teacher. You must have been hearing this song really off.

Thanks for coming by :D
