Need
To Be
If I

Seems like every day's a struggle now I'm getting to this age
Man I'm tired all the time, feeling aches and the pains
Feel like I should be more and time's just slipping away
It's all stress and it's messing with my mind and it's a pain
But I'm blessed and I'm impressed by this life that I've made
Every struggle I've been through cuz now I'm able and can say
I know myself and that's the key to really making sure
That every day's a little better than the one that came before so
If I
Want
To be
Happy
Then I
Need
To Be
If I
Want
To be
Happy
Then I
Need
To breathe
It's okay if you slip and you fall
Cuz this life's vicious, it's affecting us all
Just take a step back, try not stress anymore
Focus on what's next and the blessings in store
If I
Want
To be
Happy
Then I
Need
To Be
If I
Want
To be
Happy
Then I
Need
To breathe
Every day got to check if I've been clenching my jaw
Just to make sure there's no tension at all
Cuz I can't be present if I'm cranky and sore
But once you let it go, it's not there anymore
And I breathe with my core and my chest sticking out
I feel the strength of the Earth through my feet on the ground
And I'm still in my mind, I'm not stressed by the sounds
Finding peace in the present, in the here and the now so
If I
Want
To be
Happy
Then I
Need
To Be
If I
Want
To be
Happy
Then I
Need
To breathe
It's okay if you slip and you fall
Cuz this life's vicious, it's affecting us all
Just take a step back, try not stress anymore
Focus on what's next and the blessings in store
If I
Want
To be
Happy
Then I
Need
To Be
If I
