What would you say to me If I told you I had a dream If I told you everything Would you tell me to go back to sleep Take a look in these tired eyes They're coming back to life I know I can change Got hope in my veins I'm telling you I ain't going back to the pain
Can I be happy now Can I let my breath out Let me believe I'm building a dream Don't try to drag me down I just want to scream out loud Can I be happy now Been down on my knees I learned how to bleed I'm turnin my world around
Can I be happy now Can I break free somehow I just want to live again Love again Pick my pride up off of the ground I'm ready to pick a fight Crawl out of the dark to shine a light I ain't throwing stones Got sins of my own Ain't everbody just trying to find a way home
Can I be happy now Can I let my breath out let me believe I'm building a dream Don't try to drag me down I just want to scream out loud Can I be happy now Been down on my knees I learned how to bleed I'm turning my world around
You're born then you die it's all gone in a minute I ain't looking back Cause I don't want to miss it You better live now Cause no one's going to get out alive, alive
Can I be happy now Can I let my breath out let me believe I'm building a dream Don't try to drag me down I just want to scream out loud Can I be happy now Been down on my knees I learned how to bleed I'm turning my world around Can I be happy now Ohhhh I'm turning my world around Can I be happy now
