Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Used to sit and worry about the future
Worrying about the future don't change the past
Used to think tomorrow would be better
But now I know that I'm doing the best I can
I'm just a man trying to find the reasons why I stand
Took some time to realize that I am what I am
[Verse 2]
And I wanna be rich, I wanna be happy
And live inside a love that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I wanna be rich more than a fantasy
Ride the winds and climb, 'cause it's all a state of mind
(It's all a state of mind
It's all a state of mind)
[Verse 3]
Wake up in the morning and I turn the pages
Don't understand what's going down
Everybody's acting so outrageous
It's gonna take a lot of love to turn things around
I'm just a man trying to find the reasons why I stand
Took some time to realize that I am what I am
[Verse 4]
And I wanna be rich, I wanna be happy
And live inside a love that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I wanna be rich, more than a fantasy
Ride the winds and climb, 'cause it's all a state of mind
[Verse 5]
I hear people talk about going to Heaven
Grab a little bit of Heaven right here on Earth
Troubled times lead to healing times
I was sad, now I'm feeling fine
It's the taking and the giving that makes this life worth living
Makes this life worth living
[Verse 6]
I wanna be rich, I wanna be happy
And live inside a love that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I wanna be rich, more than a fantasy
Ride the winds and fly
'Cause it's all a state of mind
And live inside a love that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I wanna be rich, more than a fantasy
Ride the winds and climb
Ride the winds and fly
'Cause it's all a state of mind
[Verse 7]
Don't you know that it's a fantasy?
More than a fantasy
Gonna spread my, spread my, spread my
Spread my, spread my, spread my, spread my
Spread my wings and fly
I just had to change my state of mind
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna wanna be happy
