Lyrics Kirk Franklin

Kirk Franklin

Wanna Be Happy?

The truth can hurt you

Or the truth can change you

What would truth do to you

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, it was me

So I'm not happy

Cry yourself to sleep

Shout and raise your hands

It won't change a thing child

Until you understand

(Preach)

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)

If you wanna be happy

(Look at yourself and say)

Don't you wanna be happy

I just wanna be happy

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

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)

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 down 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 different right here)

It's so easy to complain

Addicted to the pain

You give your 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)

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)

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

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

(Won't He do it)

He knows the road that you need to take

(So easy to complain)

It's so easy to complain

(Come on)

Addicted to the pain

You give your 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)

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
