Happy
Embracing Joy: Matthew West's Anthem to Overcoming Life's Struggles
Lyrics
Three o'clock
It's three o'clock.
Tripping down the sidewalk
Walking casually on the sidewalk.
Looking like a fool with a pocket full of questions
Appearing foolish with a mind full of questions.
I was living in the worry
Living in constant worry.
Moving in a hurry
Moving quickly in the wrong direction.
In the wrong direction
Heading in the wrong path.
But then
Transition to a positive change.
Suddenly it hit me
An epiphany strikes suddenly.
Doesn't really matter 'cause I got you with me
Realization that having someone (possibly a significant other) with you makes the worries less significant.
I think I don't have to be so
Feeling the freedom to be oneself.
Down, down, down, down, down
Emphasizing the shift from a negative state to a positive one.
I should be happy
A reminder to be happy.
I should be happy
Reiterating the need for happiness.
I should be living up these days
Expressing the desire to enjoy the present moments.
Just like I know who runs this place
Acknowledging a higher power or authority that governs life.
Now that you found me
Being found by someone, possibly referring to a deeper connection or purpose.
I should be happy
Stressing the importance of being happy in the current situation.
Three thirty
Time check at three thirty.
Got a little dirty
Experiencing a challenging or difficult situation.
Fear stuck its foot out and I tripped on the same lie
Facing fear and stumbling due to the same false beliefs.
That voice screaming into my head
An inner voice causing distress and encouraging a defeated mindset.
Pushing me to play dead
Being pushed to give up or surrender.
Saying "don't you even try"
A strong warning against even attempting to overcome challenges.
But how can I claime to be free
Expressing the contradiction of claiming freedom while being burdened with metaphorical chains.
When I carry more chains the world when they see me?
The burden of personal struggles visible to the world.
I don't wanna be the fool who stays
A refusal to be someone who remains in a negative state.
Down, down, down, down down
Emphasizing the shift from a negative state to a positive one (repeated).
I should be happy
A reminder to be happy (repeated).
I should be happy
Reiterating the need for happiness (repeated).
I should be living up these days
Expressing the desire to enjoy the present moments (repeated).
Just like I know who runs this place
Acknowledging a higher power or authority that governs life (repeated).
Now that you found me
Being found by someone, possibly referring to a deeper connection or purpose (repeated).
I should be happy
Stressing the importance of being happy in the current situation (repeated).
Now I'm not talking 'bout a smile so fake
Emphasizing the desire for genuine happiness, not a superficial or fake smile.
While the world takes pictures 24/7
Reflecting on the constant scrutiny in today's world.
I just want my faith to be a little more real
A wish for faith to be authentic and true, not just for show.
What you see is what you get
Stating that the outward appearance reflects true feelings.
What you see is how I feel
Connecting appearance with inner emotions.
I should be happy
A reminder to be happy (repeated).
I should be happy
Reiterating the need for happiness (repeated).
I should be living up these days
Expressing the desire to enjoy the present moments (repeated).
Just like I know who runs this place
Acknowledging a higher power or authority that governs life (repeated).
Now that you found me
Being found by someone, possibly referring to a deeper connection or purpose (repeated).
I should be happy
Stressing the importance of being happy in the current situation (repeated).
