Does anyone remember the song “Happy” by Natasha Bedingfield?
It’s one that comes up on my playlist every now and then, and I have to say, the song just brings me out of the stress of the day and helps me remember what is really important. And that makes me happy. Before you listen to it, if you haven’t already, read through the lyrics, I believe everyone can relate and appreciate the reminder that there is so much to be happy about in our lives.
Landlord’s knockin’ at my door, cussin’ me out.
Got laid off my job the night before.
Can’t figure how I’m gonna fix tomorrow when yesterday’s still a mess.
Can you tell me, what’s the point, man? It all seems meaningless.
I wish that I could step away and breathe.
This world’s tryna swallow me.
Clear away the clouds inside my head.Someone just tell me that it’s okay now.
What are you worrying about?Got my dreams, got my life, got my love.
Got my friends, got the sunshine above.
Why am I making this hard on myself,
When there’s so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy?People lie, people hide.
People cry, people fight.
And they don’t know why (Fear).
If fear is all that we should fear,
Then what are we so afraid of?
‘Cause fear is only in our heads.
Someone please say,
That it’s okay now.
What are you worrying about?
What are you worrying about?Got my dreams, got my life, got my love.
Got my friends, got the sunshine above.
Why am I making this hard on myself,
When there’s so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy.Any day, I’ll go back thinking bad,
Everyone is against me and the world wants to fight me.
Preparing to battle an enemy unseen.
During my stressing, I’m blinded to the lessons
That could be a blessing if I’d be confessin’ that the enemy
I’m trying to beat is hiding in me.But it’s okay now
What are you worrying about?
Got my dreams, got my life, got my love.
Got my friends, got the sunshine above.
Why am I making this hard on myself,
When there’s so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy?Keep your grind on, girl.
It’s your life, it’s your world.
Keep your grind on girl, it’s your life, it’s your world.
