This song just keeps rolling through my head like those manufactured waves at the water park. About the twentieth time it played on Radio Brain Wave, I decided it was a good choice to put on my iPod for the folder called "Suicide Soundtrack." That's the music I plan to take with me--or the music that will see me out--when the day comes. I don't listen to that playlist as a collection. Not yet. Considering the overall bounce and tone of this tune, I like the irony of it in this context.

Pack up your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, come on get happy
Get ready for the judgment day

The sun is shining, come on get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, come on get happy
We're going to the Promised Land

We're heading 'cross the river
Gonna wash our sins in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side

Forget your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day

The sun is shining, come on get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, come on get happy
We're going to the Promised Land

We're heading 'cross the river
Wash our sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side

Forget your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase your cares away!!
Sing Hallelujah, come on get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
