Ooh.. Oooooohhh.
Landlords Knocking at my door cussing me out
Got laid off my job the night before
Can’t figure how
I’m gonna fix tomorrow when Yesterday’s still a mess
Can you tell me what’s the point man
It all seems meaningless
I wish that I could step away and breathe
This world’s trying to swallow me
Clear away the clouds inside my head
[Chorus:]
Someone just tell me
That it’s ok now
What are you worrying about
Got my dreams, got my life, got my love
Got my friends, got the sunshine above
Why am I making this hard on myself
When there’s so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy
People lie, people hide, people cry, people fight
And they don’t know why
If fear is all that we should fear
Then what are we so afraid of
‘Cause fear is only in our heads
Someone please say…
[Chorus]
Any day I’ll go bad thinking bad
Everyone is against me and the world wants to fight me
Preparing to battle an enemy unseen
During my stressing I’m blinded to the lessons
That could be a blessing if Id be confessing that the enemy
I’m trying to beat is hiding inside of me
But it’s ok now…what are you worrying about…
[Chorus]
Keep your grind on girl…it’s your love, it’s your world… [Repeat 2x]
[Chorus]
Finding Light Amid Life’s Challenges
“Happy” by Natasha Bedingfield dives deep into the universal struggle of staying optimistic when life feels overwhelming. The opening verses paint a raw picture of hardship: job loss, financial stress, and inner turmoil. Yet, the chorus pivots to a powerful reminder—amid all the chaos, there are still countless reasons to be happy. Bedingfield encourages listeners to focus on the positives: dreams, love, friendship, and the simple joy of sunshine. The song acknowledges that fear and anxiety are ever-present, but asserts that these are internal battles we can learn to overcome. Ultimately, “Happy” is an uplifting anthem about choosing gratitude and perspective, even when the world feels heavy.
