Be happy while we’re here ( with God )

I used to wake up feelin’ lost in my own skin,
Tryna fake a smile just to fit the world I’m in.
But somewhere on the highway of the nights I couldn’t sleep,
I learned happiness ain’t somethin’ anybody keeps.
Now I thank God for the little things that light my way,
A hand to hold, a prayer at night, and hope for each new day.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I’m holdin’ on to moments He’s placed in my life,
Learnin’ how to laugh again through the struggle and strife.

[Chorus]
’Cause the purpose of our lives is to be happy,
God gives us sunshine when the world gets heavy.
Dance in the kitchen, sing when nobody’s listenin’,
Love a little harder every day we’re livin’.
It ain’t about the money or the things we fear —
It’s about the love we give and the hearts we cheer.
Yeah, the purpose of our lives is to be happy,
So let’s be happy with God while we’re here.

[Verse 2]
People gonna judge you no matter what you do,
So why waste your years tryna prove what ain’t true?
I lean on Him when storms come, when skies turn gray,
Trust that He’s guidin’ me to brighter days.
Even in the silence, I can hear His voice,
Telling me to rejoice, and choose joy as my choice.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I’ll take what He’s given, turn it into somethin’ good,
Chasin’ joy like fireflies runnin’ through the woods.

[Chorus]
’Cause the purpose of our lives is to be happy,
God gives us sunshine when the world gets heavy.
Dance in the kitchen, sing when nobody’s listenin’,
Love a little harder every day we’re livin’.
It ain’t about the money or the things we fear —
It’s about the love we give and the hearts we cheer.
Yeah, the purpose of our lives is to be happy,
So let’s be happy with God while we’re here.

[Bridge]
We only get one shot, one ride, one chance,
So take a breath, take His hand, and dance.
Let go of the pressure, let go of the pain —
Happiness grows like a wildflower in the rain.

[Final Chorus]
’Cause the purpose of our lives is to be happy,
God gives us sunshine when the world gets heavy.
Dance in the kitchen, sing when nobody’s listenin’,
Love a little harder every day we’re livin’.
It ain’t promised, but it’s crystal clear —
We’re meant to shine while He’s still here.
Yeah, the purpose of our lives is to be happy…
So let’s be happy with God while we’re here.

[Outro]
So here’s to the laughter, the tears we survived,
To all of the moments God keeps alive.
If tomorrow never comes, at least we made it clear—
We were tryin’ to be happy with Him while we’re here.
Yeah, we’re learnin’ to be happy…
While we’re blessed to still be here.
