13. The Road to Happiness (Paralympic
anthem)
How hard is it to choose the path
Where to look and whom to go.
How often pain, anguish and fear,
Change the world in your eyes.
When easy answers to be found
immediately.
We look up, but pulls down
Who is on the throne, who encore.
Who haste, who slowly,
Hand to hand, soul to soul.
And above the sky put a little whimsy.
We are looking at the stars, love is never too
late.
Believe that everything happens, we'll help
you.

14. Chorus:
Find your way to happiness, life, soul open.
Go through the storms and bad weather, and
cold and heat through.
Smile when your house will love.
Do not turn your back, and then the world
will change.
Forever.
