decide to be happy

[Verse 1]

Music, it saved me, but it drives me crazy

'Cause it forces my eyes to take a look and see

Got to decide to be happy

'Cause it don't always come naturally

Been feelin' like a stranger in my body

I haven't been myself in a while, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)

Got to decide to be happy (Be happy)

'Cause it don't always come naturally

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause flowers don't grow without the rain

And goodness don't grow without the pain

Flowers don't grow without the rain

Goodness don't grow without the pain

[Chorus]

I've been down on my knees

Prayin' to things I don't believe

Hopin' that it'll save me

So I decide to be happy

I've been down on my knees

Prayin' to things I don't believe

Hopin' that it'll save me

So I decide to be happy

So I decide to be happy

[Verse 2]

My mind, it can be a scary place at times

So I hide under my bed and close all the blinds

And I cry (And I cry), and I cry (And I cry)

Waste the day away, so I turn on the lights

And I search for a sign or a rhyme or a reason

Why I'm unsteady as the seasons

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause flowers don't grow without the rain

And goodness don't grow without the pain

Flowers don't grow without the rain

Goodness don't grow without the pain

[Chorus]

I've been down on my knees

Prayin' to things I don't believe

Hopin' that it'll save me

So I decide to be happy

I've been down on my knees

Prayin' to things I don't believe

Hopin' that it'll save me

So I decide to be happy

So I decide to be happy

[Bridge]

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you're sad and you know it, well, now's your chance to dance

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you're sad and you know it, well, now's your chance to dance

Well, now's your chance to dance, now's your chance to dance

(Well, now's your chance to dance, now's your chance to dance)

[Chorus]

Hey

I've been down on my knees

Prayin' to things I don't believe

Hopin' that it'll save me

So I decide to be happy

I've been down on my knees

Prayin' to things I don't believe

Hopin' that it'll save me

So I decide to be happy
