Carolyn Arends Album: Seize the Day and Other Stories Track: Happy
Happy Lyrics
Words and music by Carolyn Arends Do I annoy you with my optimism Am I an insult to your realism I've got hope and just a little bit of passion I know both those things have gone right out of fashion So call me a rebel, you can call me a fool I won't give up the fight, I just refuse
And I will dare to dream I will dare to believe in something, baby I will dare to be - happy I will dare to be happy
Does it offend you that I've made that decision Does it betray your sense of fatalism Well please forgive me but I don't believe it's treason For me to live my life like its mine for a reason So call me Pollyanna, you can call me a child But I will not lie down, that's not my style
And I will dare to dream I will dare to believe in something, baby I will dare to be - happy I will dare to be happy
Do I annoy you with my stubborn insistence That love can save us and I've seen its existence I've got Jesus and a little bit of passion I know both those things have gone right out of fashion So you can call me crazy 'cause here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna dare to pray the same for you
And I will dare to dream I will dare to believe in something, baby I will dare to be - happy I will dare to be happy
