One step to happiness,
that's where I want to be
Living right here in misery,
it's not my wish you see
One step to progress,
that's where I always put my best
One step to happiness,
that's where I want to be
Livin' here in misery,
that's not the way how life should be
Can't you see that's why
the youth are in captivity
One by one I want you to know,
I've got to reach the goal
Cause I've got ambition
I set in my soul
One step to happiness,
that's where I want to be
Living right here in misery,
it's not my wish, you see
One step to progress,
that's where I always put my faith, yes
One step to happiness,
that's where I want to be
Got to take life seriously,
things don't go easily
I've got to free myself from the poverty
I see little cheer and cry,
wanna know the reason why
Can't you see things
are getting out of control
One step to happiness,
that's where I want to be
Living right here in poverty,
it's not the way it should be
One step to progress,
that's where I always put my faith
One step to happiness,
that's where I want to be
One more year, one more year,
one more year, one more year, more year,
one more year, one more year,
one more year, one year, year
Living down there in poverty,
that's not the way our life should be
Can't you see that's why
the youths are in captivity
One step to happiness,
that's where I always put my faith
One step to happiness,
that's one step to happiness,
that's where I want to be
I start living life here in misery,
it's not the way it should be
One step to progress,
that's where I always put my faith
one step to happiness
that's where I want to be
one step to happiness,
that's where I want to be
I start living like you're in poverty
It's not the way life should be
One step to progress
That's where I always put my babies
One step to happiness
That's where I want to be
One step to happiness
