People tell me my life was predestined
From my life others shall learn a lesson
Want a leader with the world on my shoulder
Age is young but my mind is much older
Living up to everyone's expectations
Condemned me to a world of damnation
I gotta clear these voices from my head
All these opinionated noises
Listen to the voice of my creator
Opens doors to a path much greater
On this path, the days draw nearer
When I can be happy, finally happy, yeah
Searching for my destiny
I search for what makes me happy
Lost in what others thought of me
I've gotta be happy, finally happy
Searching for my destiny
I search for what makes me happy
Lost in what others thought of me
I've gotta be happy, finally happy
Time to broaden my horizons
Come out from the dark and open up my eyes and
Start to define my destiny
Experience what life can really be
No longer concerned with your opinion
Over my life I have dominion
I'm stronger now than before
I'm sure I can be so much more
Not what you thought I would be?
'Cause I'm gonna be happy, yeah
I'm gonna be happy, finally, you see , oh
Searching for my destiny
I search for what makes me happy
Lost in what others thought of me
I've gotta be happy, finally happy
Searching for my destiny
I search for what makes me happy
Lost in what others thought of me
I've gotta be happy, finally happy
Searching for my destiny
I search for what makes me happy
Lost in what others thought of me
I've gotta be happy, finally happy
Searching for my destiny
I search for what makes me happy
Lost in what others thought of me
I've gotta be happy, finally happy
Searching for my destiny
I search for what makes me happy
Lost in what others thought of me
I've gotta be happy, finally happy
Searching for my destiny
I search for what makes me happy
Lost in what others thought of me
I've gotta be happy, finally happy
Searching for my destiny
I search for what makes me happy
Lost in what others thought of me
I've gotta be happy, finally happy
Searching for my destiny
I search for what makes me happy
Lost in what others thought of me
I've gotta be happy, finally happy
I'm gonna be happy, gonna be hapy, yeah
