I choose to be happy

Lyrics

Wake up in the morning with a smile on my face
Not because it's perfect — just grateful for this place
Sometimes the rain falls and I feel the weight
I sit with my sadness, but I don't let it stay
Got a family behind me, got a purpose in my soul
Got a heart that's wide open, that's my only goal
I'll carry what is heavy, I'll laugh when times are rough
'Cause I've learned that being easy is more than enough
I don't need the storm to last forever
I don't need the answers right away
All I know is I'll keep going
Finding light inside each day
Keep on shining, even when the clouds roll in
Keep on rising, it's not how you fall — it's how you begin
I'll be there for you, and I'll hold you close
'Cause the ones I love — they matter the most
Keep on laughing, keep on loving through it all
Stand back up every time I stumble and fall
This is my story, every chapter, every line
I choose to be happy — and I choose to shine
I'm the one who cracks a joke when tension fills the room
I'm the one who shows up first to chase away the gloom
Throw the disc, shoot the ball, I'm alive on every court
Life itself is the game and love is my sport
I don't judge, I don't rush, I take it as it comes
Find the joy in little things and share it with someone
Protect my people fiercely, make them feel at home
Cause no one in this life should ever feel alone
I don't need to be the loudest in the room
Just the one you know will always come through
Steady like the morning, warm like the sun
I'm not perfect — but I'll show up, every one
Keep on shining, even when the clouds roll in
Keep on rising, it's not how you fall — it's how you begin
I'll be there for you, and I'll hold you close
Cause the ones I love — they matter the most
Keep on laughing, keep on loving through it all
Stand back up every time I stumble and fall
This is my story, every chapter, every line
I choose to be happy — and I choose to shine
If I can touch one heart before the day is done
If I can make one person feel like they have won
Then every step I've taken, every tear I've cried
Was worth it — every moment, every single time
Everything is okay
Everything will be okay
I believe it every day…
Keep on shining, even when the clouds roll in
Keep on rising, it's not how you fall — it's how you begin
I'll be there for you, and I'll hold you close
Cause the ones I love — they matter the most
Keep on laughing, keep on loving through it all
Stand back up every time I stumble and fall
This is my story, every chapter, every line
I choose to be happy — and I choose to shine
Shine on, shine on…
Keep on going, keep on glowing
This is your life — and it's beautiful
Keep shinning...
