Various Artists - Wanna Be Happy? lyrics

[Intro: Kirk Franklin] The truth can hurt you Or the truth can change you What would truth do to you [Verse 1] I just wanna be happy But if I keep on doing the things That keep on bringing me pain There's no one else I can blame If I'm not happy Wasted time but now I can see The biggest enemy is me So I'm not happy [Pre-Chorus] Cry yourself to sleep Shout and raise your hands It won't change a thing child Until you understand [Chorus] If you're tired of being the same If you're tired of things not changing It's time for you to get out the way Don't get stuck in how you feel Say Jesus take the wheel He knows the road that you need to take (But it only works if) [Post-Chorus] If you wanna be happy (Look at yourself and say) Don't you wanna be happy I just wanna be happy [Verse 2] But if I keep on giving my heart For people to tear apart The healing will never start So I can be happy Will I ever be happy [Pre-Chorus] Cry yourself to sleep Shout and raise your hands It won't change a thing child Until you understand (If I'm talking to you now say) [Hook 2] If you're tired of being the same If you're tired of things not changing It's time for you to get out the way (You been there too long) Don't get stuck in how you feel Say Jesus take the wheel He knows the road that you need to take (I feel this one right here) It's so easy to complain Addicted to the pain You give you heart, they push it away (But I got good news for ya) Jesus knows just how you feel Just let Him take the wheel The love you need, he already gave (But the question is) [Post-Chorus] Do you wanna be happy (If you're tired of you then say) I just wanna be happy (Now if you really mean that, open up your heart and say it) [Bridge: Kirk Franklin] Let me hear you say yeah Yeah yeah (If you're tired of going in circles) Let me hear you say yeah Yeah yeah (Tired of making the same mistakes) Let me hear you say yeah Yeah yeah (But now's your chance) Let me hear you say yeah (Say yeah) Yeah yeah [Chorus] If you're tired of being the same If you're tired of things not changing It's time for you to get out the way (Are you ready, come on) Don't get stuck in how you feel Say Jesus take the wheel (What you doin') He knows the road that you need to take (It's so easy to complain) It's so easy to complain (Come on) Addicted to the pain You give you heart, they push it away (There's somebody that'll never leave ya) Jesus knows just how you feel Just let him take the wheel The love you need, he already gave (But the question is) [Post-Chorus] Do you wanna be happy (Took a long time but I'm ready) I just wanna be happy (Thank you Lord, every day ask yourself) Do you wanna be happy (Yes, pull over, let him drive) I just wanna be happy
