Lyrics

You walked into the world

You entered the world

As a super human boy and girl (ooh)

As an exceptional boy and girl (expressing uniqueness)

In the blinking of your eyes

Rapidly, in an instant

I was born and sold

I was brought to life and traded

By your manifesto

According to your principles or beliefs


It's a cruel world for small things

Life is harsh for the vulnerable

But with lies and luxuries

However, with deceit and material comforts

In the in-between

Existing in the intermediate space

You can be happy

You have the potential for happiness


You put me in a cage

You confined me

In the daily maze of flesh and rage (ooh)

In the complex and frustrating routine of emotions and conflict

That I will follow every truth

That I will adhere to every reality

I won't let you go

I won't release my hold on you

I want every tomorrow

I desire every forthcoming day


It's a cruel world for small things

Life is harsh for the vulnerable

But with lies and luxuries

Yet, with deceit and material comforts

In the in-between

In the intermediate space

You can totally be happy

You absolutely can attain happiness


And now I am afraid

Now, I fear

You will blossom soon

You will mature soon

And grow and change

And evolve and transform

There is so much I can't take

There's much that overwhelms me

But I will understand

But I will comprehend

I will open my hand

I will release my grip


You can be happy

Reiteration of the potential for happiness amidst challenges

You can be happy

-

You can be happy

-

You can be happy (it's a cruel world for small things)

-

You can be happy (but with the lies and luxuries)

-

You can be happy (in the in-between)

-

You can be happy (you can be happy)

-

You can be happy

Reaffirmation of the possibility of happiness

You can be happy

-

You can be happy

-

You can be happy (ooh)

-

There's an open window

Expressing the availability of opportunities and boundless potential

And I can go through

-

Into the life of others

-

There's nothing I can't do

-

There's an open window

-

And I can go through

-

Into the life of others

-

There's nothing I can't do (fight)

-

There's an open window (fight)

Emphasizing determination and resilience in pursuing happiness

And if I can go through (fight)

-

Into the life of others (fight)

-

There's nothing I can't do (fight)

-

There's an open window (fight you can be happy)

-

And I can go through (fight you can be happy)

-

Into the life of others (fight you can be happy)

-

There's nothing I can't do (fight you can be happy)

-

(Fight) you can be happy

Encouraging resilience and determination towards happiness

(Fight) you can be happy

-

(Fight) you can be happy

-

You can be happy (ooh)
