Happy Enough - Sara Bareilles

I am my father’s first and only son

And my family worked until the job was done

We didn’t have much but we still had some

And I learned to be happy enough

I’m proud of everything I’ve earned and owned

I built a business and I built a home

Someday you’ll read it on my slate head stone

That I was happy enough

Keep your head down

And enjoy what’s around you

Make solid ground on happy enough

The way that I see it

I have what I need

As long as I breathe I’m happy enough

I get by on happy enough

I get by on happy enough

I know you mean it and I envy that

I wish I felt that way too

But you’ve got a house, your health

A job, a husband, girl, what else

Do you want?

We can’t have it all

(Ooh, happy enough)

Might as well take

What’s coming your way

Face it and say «I'm happy enough»

Keep your head down

Enjoy what’s around you

Make solid ground on happy enough
