[Intro: Beyoncé]
Ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shinin'
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
I woke up and realized this world's not so bad after all
I looked at it through a child's eyes and I saw these beautiful
Things that you never think about like the ocean, moonlight, stars and clouds
It's amazing how we don't appreciate our blessings
There's plenty of people who don't like me
But there's ten times more who love me and I love myself
Sometimes, it gets tough, it gets tough
But I can't give up, can't give up
Just take a deep breath, close my eyes
Feel the love and give a smile
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shinin'
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shinin'
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
[Verse 2: Kelly Rowland & Destiny's Child]
It's me, I just wanna be happy
Uh, just be happy, eh, just be happy
Today is the day I am willing to say
I will put all the past behind me, no more enemies
Ready for the world (Ready for the world)
I'm livin' in this world (Living in this world)
I wanna make a change (Wanna make a change)
I'm gonna make a change (Gonna make a change)
Put on my happy face
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shinin'
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shinin'
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
[Bridge: Michelle Williams & Kelly Rowland]
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay
[Break: Beyoncé]
Oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shinin'
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shinin'
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
[Outro: Beyoncé]
I woke up this morning with a happy face
I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying
I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying
I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying
Flying, flying, flying, flying, flying, flying
Oh-oh, I'm flying, flying, so high
[Interlude: Kelly Rowland]
I will survive abandonment
I will survive a broken heart
I will survive loneliness
