What would you say to me

If I told you I had a dream

If I told you everything

Would you tell me to go back to sleep

Take a look in these tired eyes

They're coming back to life

I know I can change

Got hope in my veins

I'm telling you I ain't going back to the pain

Can I be happy now

Can I let my breath out

Let me believe

I'm building a dream

Don't try to drag me down

I just want to scream out loud

Can I be happy now

Been down on my knees

I learned how to bleed

I'm turning my world around

Can I be happy now

Can I break free somehow

I just want to live again

Love again

Pick my pride up off of the ground

I'm ready to pick a fight

Crawl out of the dark to shine a light

I ain't throwing stones

Got sins of my own

Ain't everybody just trying to find a way home

Can I be happy now

Can I let my breath out

Let me believe

I'm building a dream

Don't try to drag me down

I just want to scream out loud

Can I be happy now

Been down on my knees

I learned how to bleed

I'm turning my world around

You're born then you die

It's all gone in a minute

I ain't looking back

'Cause I don't want to miss it

You better live now

'Cause no one's going to get out alive, alive

Can I be happy now

Can I let my breath out

Let me believe

I'm building a dream

Don't try to drag me down

I just want to scream out loud

Can I be happy now

Been down on my knees

I learned how to bleed

I'm turning my world around

Can I be happy now

I'm turning my world around

Can I be happy now
