Some days I'm on top of the world
And most days the world's on top of me
Crushing my whole body
It won't always be this heavy
But now I always choose me
It will rarely be easy
So I 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' the 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' the 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
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' the 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' the things I don't believe
Hopin' that it'll save me
So I decide to be happy
