What It Is To Be Happy
What it is to be happy, I really do not know
I'm so afraid, very afraid to let that feeling show
You see I did that once and my heart was severely hurt
It was ripped out of my chest and buried in the dirt
I dug it up and put my heart right back into my chest
Being happy just not for me, my life just isn't the best
I wonder if being happy will I ever be
All I can do is pray to God, be patient and see
What it is to be happy, I hope to find out
My life is what it is for now, I want to scream and shout
What it is to be happy, you ask this of me
I do not have an answer for you, for happiness has set me free.
