happiness for happiness

on this dance

i let you take the lead

and my happiness for yours

we trade

i let mine attend backstage

and with no heartaches

i sincerely cheer

for once

i allow some joy enter from outside

as i no longer reserve the spotlight 

in my dreams 

i observe you all

shine with a brilliance i didn't see so clear

and i silently smile 

as i realize

that my happiness is yours
