  • Singing oh, happiness
    Singing oh, happiness

    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
    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

    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
    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

    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
    I'm asking you to show me some forgiveness
    It's all for you in my pursuit of happiness
