HAPPY Lyrics
[Intro: Wande & Taylor Hill]
I just wanna be happy
Yeah
You just wanna be happy
Ayy
I just wanna be happy
Uh, yeah
Happy
So happy
[Verse 1]
I just wanna feel elevated, yeah
Wake up in the morning, say goodbye to mourning
Wanna feel that levitation, yeah
Be on cloud nine, feel like I'm flying
But I'm in this situation, yeah
Inner me is crying, outer me is dying
Happiness and imitation, yeah
Heard you speak about joy and I want an invitation
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Something inside, yeah, the inner me
Longs just to live set free
I've been torn down, I got all this pain
Feel like I'm locked in chains
Hurting so badly (Badly)
I just wanna be so happy (Yeah)
Lord, I need You, please come grab me
'Cause I just wanna be
[Chorus: Wande & Taylor Hill]
Wanna be, yeah
I just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Hey, yeah
You just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, I want to be, yeah
I just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Hey
Happy, so happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Ayy, so help me be, yeah
I just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Hey
I just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Ayy, I want to be, yeah
I just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Hey, yeah
Happy, so happy (Oh-oh-oh)
But what does that mean? Yeah
[Verse 2]
Uh, I need that happiness that comes from above
Like it's deeper than the feeling we receive from all the things that we have
I got a joy that lasts, yeah, it's never leaving so
I still feel content when things don't go the way I’m thinking, oh
The way we feeling so deceiving, you ain't even know
Follow your heart, you might make the wrong choice
People yelling, but You always got that still small voice
Got peace, never drive me insane, always staying the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Something inside, yeah, the inner me
Longs just to live set free
I've been torn down, I got all this pain
Feel like I'm locked in chains
Hurting so badly (Badly)
I just wanna be so happy (Yeah)
Lord, I need You, please come grab me
'Cause I just wanna be
[Chorus: Wande & Taylor Hill]
Wanna be, yeah
I just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Hey, yeah
You just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, I want to be, yeah
I just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Hey
Happy, so happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Ayy, so help me be, yeah
I just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Hey
I just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Ayy, I want to be, yeah
I just want to be happy (Oh-oh-oh)
Hey, yeah
Happy, so happy (Oh-oh-oh)
But what does that mean? Yeah

What did Wande say about "HAPPY"?
Sometimes in the midst of pain all you can do is call on the Lord for comfort.

What else has Wande said about the song?
the meaning is talking about how you can’t find true happiness in material things it can only derive from God…and that is what will sustain you when life gets hard and doesnt look pretty.

How did the visuals for the song come about?
For over a year, I’ve had the vision of a music video involving the sand. One of my close friends, Brianna Baca, choreographed the video. Brianna was able to make my vision come to life! I was able to communicate to her my wish list–natural movements, “flowy” with praise and worship-like dance movem...
