Lyrics and direction

Happiness runs in a circular motion                Form large circle, join hands
                                                   leader leads a chain so all look in eyes as pass    
Life is like a little boat upon the sea            snake chain eventually forming closed tight spiral in centre
                                                   then move back to form large circle.
Everything is a part of everyone anyway

You can have it all if you let yourself be
