Intro Singing oh, happiness Singing oh, happiness Verse I got a homesick heart but a long ways left to go I've been doing my part but I ain't got much to show So I'm asking you to show me some forgiveness It's all for you in my pursuit of happiness Chasing that life, moving on cause I had to prove There ain't no life worth doing what I did to you So I'm asking you to show me some forgiveness It's all for you in my pursuit of happiness I got dreams that keep me up in the dead of night Telling me I wasn't made for the simple life There's a light I see, but it's far in the distance So I'm asking you to show me some forgiveness It's all for you in my pursuit of happiness Singing oh, happiness Singing oh, happiness Verse I've been working all night, maybe you could help me to believe This song ain't nothing if this song can't set you free So I'm asking you to show me some forgiveness It's all for you in my pursuit of happiness I got dreams that keep me up in the dead of night Telling me I wasn't made for the simple life There's a light I see, but it's far in the distance So I'm asking you to show me some forgiveness It's all for you in my pursuit of happiness Singing oh, happiness Singing oh, happiness Bridge Sometimes you leave the ones you love But if it's love, they won't give up Cause they know a war's raging and you gotta choose These days are tough, these days are long Sometimes it's hard, you carry on But I hear a voice singing and I know it's true I got dreams that keep me up in the dead of night Telling me I wasn't made for the simple life There's a light I see, but it's far in the distance So I'm asking you to show me some forgiveness It's all for you in my pursuit of happiness Outro Singing oh, happiness Singing oh, happiness Oh, happiness Singing oh, happiness
