Lyrics
When I was only five years old,
Mama gave me words of gold.
She said, “Whatever road you choose,
Don’t let your happiness get lost.”
Then at school they asked of me,
“What will you grow up to be?”
I looked up and answered gladly,
“I just want to live life happy.”
I just wanna be happy,
That’s the dream I’m holding tightly.
Not a title, not a name,
Not a prize inside a frame.
I just wanna be happy,
Live a life that feels like me.
You can ask what I will do—
But I know what matters too.
They said, “You misunderstood.
Tell us what your future should.”
Doctor, teacher, shining star—
Tell us who you think you are.
I said, “Maybe you don’t see
What this life should truly be.
What’s the point of reaching high
If your heart forgets to smile?”
Money comes and titles fade,
Dreams can change and plans can break.
But the joy we give and find
Is the wealth we leave behind.
I just wanna be happy,
That’s the dream I’m holding tightly.
Not a title, not a name,
Not a prize inside a frame.
I just wanna be happy,
Live a life that feels like me.
You can ask what I will do—
I know what I’m living for.
I just wanna be happy,
Happy being me.
