Happy - Carolyn Arends

Do I annoy you with my optimism 
Am I an insult to your realism 
I've got hope and just a little bit of passion 
I know both those things have gone right out of fashion 
So call me a rebel, you can call me a fool 
I won't give up the fight, I just refuse 

Chorus:
And I will dare to dream 
I will dare to believe in something, baby 
I will dare to be - happy 
I will dare to be happy 

Does it offend you that I've made that decision 
Does it betray your sense of fatalism 
Well please forgive me but I don't believe it's treason 
For me to live my life like its mine for a reason 
So call me Pollyanna, you can call me a child 
But I will not lie down, that's not my style 

Chorus:
And I will dare to dream 
I will dare to believe in something, baby 
I will dare to be - happy 
I will dare to be happy 

Do I annoy you with my stubborn insistence 
That love can save us and I've seen its existence 
I've got Jesus and a little bit of passion 
I know both those things have gone right out of fashion 
So you can call me crazy 'cause here's what I'm gonna do 
I'm gonna dare to pray the same for you 

Chorus:
And I will dare to dream 
I will dare to believe in something, baby 
I will dare to be - happy 
I will dare to be happy
