decide to be happy

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
Got to decide to be happy
'Cause it don't always come naturally

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

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

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
I 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

'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

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

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

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
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
So I decide to be happy
