A song for when you want to be shamelessly happy, but need permission to do so. This song is your permission.

lyrics

Verse

Will you just keep waiting
For the day when it's your turn
Watching from the sidelines
While your candle burns

Quiet and complacent
Follow all the rules
Keep in line and smile
So that they like you
But

Chorus

Life don't come with instructions
Sometimes you just got to jump in
Do what your heart is calling'
'Cause
Happiness ain't a sin

Verse

We're so damn critical
We can't stand to love ourselves
Searching for
A million ways
A millions things
To make us feel fulfilled
We're missing the point

Will anger and pride
Cease the raging storm inside
Thoughts that if
Anyone knew
They'd see the real you
Is that who you want to be

Chorus

Life don't come with instructions
Sometimes you just got to forgive
Let go to be free
'Cause
Happiness ain't a sin

Post Chorus

Life don't come with instructions
No greater plan from God
This life is what you make of it
Will you waste it
Or rise to
A higher call

Happiness ain't a sin
Happiness ain't a sin
Happiness ain't a sin

Will you waste it
Or rise to
A higher call
