Wanna Be Happy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I just wanna be happy
But if I keep on doing the things
That keep on bringing me pain
There's no one else I can blame
If I'm not happy
Wasted time but now I can see
The biggest enemy it was me
So I'm not happy
Cry yourself to sleep
Shout and raise your hands
It won't change a thing child
Until you understand
If you're tired of being the same
If you're tired of things not changing
It's time for you to get out the way
Don't get stuck in how you feel
Say Jesus take the wheel
He knows the road that you need to take
If you wanna be happy
Don't you wanna be happy
I just wanna be happy
But if I keep on giving my heart
For people to tear apart
The healing will never start
So I can be happy
Will I ever be happy
Cry yourself to sleep
Shout and raise your hands
It won't change a thing child
Until you understand
If you're tired of being the same
If you're tired of things not changing
It's time for you to get out the way
Don't get stuck in how you feel
Say Jesus take the wheel
He knows the road that you need to take
It's so easy to complain
Addicted to the pain
You give your heart, they push it away
Jesus knows just how you feel
Just let him take the wheel
The love you need, he already gave
Do you wanna be happy
I just wanna be happy
Let me hear you say yeah yeah yeah
