Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I just wanna be happy
(Yeah) You just wanna be happy
(Ay) I just wanna be happy
(Uh) Happy, so happy
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I just wanna feel elevated, yeah
Wake up in the morning, say goodbye to mourning
Wanna feel that levitation, yeah
Be on cloud nine, feel like I'm flying
But I'm in this situation, yeah
Inner me is crying, outer me is dying
Happiness and imitation, yeah
Heard you speak about joy and I want an invitation
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Something inside, yeah, the inner me
Longs just to live, set free
I've been torn down, I got all this pain
Feel like I'm locked in chains
Hurt so badly (Badly)
I just wanna be so happy (Happy)
Lord, I need You, please come grab me
'Cause I just wanna be
[Verse 4]
Wanna be, yeah
I just wanna be happy
(Hey) You just wanna be happy
Yeah, I wanna be, yeah
I just wanna be happy
(Hey) Happy, so happy
Ay, so let me be, yeah
I just wanna be happy
(Hey) You just wanna be happy
Ay, I wanna be, yeah
I just wanna be happy
(Hey) Happy, so happy
But what does that mean? Yeah
[Verse 5]
I need that happiness that comes from above
Like, it's deeper than the feeling we receive from all the things that we have
I got a joy that lasts, yeah, it's never leaving, so
I still feel content when things don't go the way I'm thinking, oh
The way we feeling, so deceiving, you ain't even know
Follow your heart, you might make the wrong choice
People yelling, but You always got taht still, small voice
Got peace, never drives me insane, always staying the same
[Verse 6]
Something inside, yeah, the inner me
Longs just to live, set free
I've been torn down, I got all this pain
Feel like I'm locked in chains
Hurt so badly (Badly)
I just wanna be so happy (Happy)
Lord, I need You, please come grab me
'Cause I just wanna be
[Verse 7]
Wanna be, yeah
I just wanna be happy
(Hey) You just wanna be happy
Yeah, I wanna be, yeah
I just wanna be happy
(Hey) Happy, so happy
Ay, so let me be, yeah
I just wanna be happy
(Hey) You just wanna be happy
Ay, I wanna be, yeah
I just wanna be happy
(Hey) Happy, so happy
But what does that mean? Yeah
