Alton Mitchell - I Could've Been Happy

Let it break your heart,
Let it just sink in,
How all is vanity, and a chase after wind.
Let it sober you up,
Really what does it mean?
All this busy work, that I'm doing for me.
Oh I don't have to do it for myself,
To know that road is going nowhere
So slow.
But any light is better than none.
And what is all this work if you don't have fun?
Now is time to enjoy,
The world, time to cut off all the noise.
For a little bit of separation,
and what is all this work to climb a mountain?
I don't want to wait until the end of days to
see what all this means.
It's not what it seems. It's not what it seems.
I don't want to wait until my hair turns gray to
see that all this means,
I could've been happy. Oh! I could've been happy.
Let the truth come back,
Let the love emerge.
Why wait to leave the evil?
I'll just take you for your word.
Oh I don't have to do it for myself,
To know that road is going nowhere
So slow.
But any light is better than none.
And what is all this work if you don't have fun?
Now is time to enjoy,
The world, time to cut off all the noise.
For a little bit of separation, and what is all this work to climb a mountain?
I don't want to wait until the end of days to see what all this means.
It's not what it seems. It's not what it seems.
I don't want to wait until my hair turns gray
To see that all this means,
I could've been happy. Oh! I could've been happy.
