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 tell 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 wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna 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

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 wanna 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? - [oohoohooh]
I´m turning my world around

Can I be happy now?
