I'd Rather Be Happy Than Right

When you meet someone who inspires your worst angry voice
 Just retreat-happiness is always a much better choice
 Why chargin?
 If you're in-
 Sisting on the last word
 It's quite over-rated
 Like our mothers taught:
 Unkind words we just ought not to
 Hey, everything you're saying is so contra-bliss
 Okay, I think I can see where you're going with this
 True, we have had our differences there all along
 But who, who of us can say he has never been wrong?
 Like the sky, this is all shadows and light
 I guess I would rather be happy than right
 Every day life is like a mixture of sugar and sand
 On the way we are given lessons we misunderstand
 If I fail
 To no avail
 Still I always try to be
 Like the wise ant who
 Takes the sugar home
 And just leaves the sand alone
