Happiness is just a decision Don’t wanna think about the way things are I wanna think about the way that they should be Or what they’re gonna be someday Maybe not too far away, yeah I'm holding on Don’t wanna sing about the sadness, no Cause it’s too easy for me to wrap myself up In all the insecurities that really shouldn’t be I'm holding on So I keep my mind preoccupied With better things, better things to come Not waiting for that feeling to hit To come around and sweep me off my feet No Happiness is just a decision And it’s never gonna fall down from the sky Or open up my front door to say hi No Happiness is just a decision It’s something that I choose to feel It’s not something that I wait around to be I leave my happiness, I leave it all up to me It’s my responsibility I can’t afford to leave it up to chance Or up to circumstance happening in such a way That everything all lines up perfectly for me It’s my responsibility So I keep my mind preoccupied With better things, better things to come Not waiting for that feeling to hit To come around and sweep me off my feet No Happiness is just a decision And it’s never gonna fall down from the sky Or open up my front door to say hi No Happiness is just a decision 'Cause it takes more soul to feel alive When heart ache hits me overnight I keep my Head above the grind, I keep my eyes upon the prize When that heartache comes to hit me overnight I get myself back up a 100 times It takes more soul for me to rise So I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting for that feeling Happiness is just a decision Happiness is just a decision Happiness is just a decision
