Lyrics Happy Enough - Sara Bareilles

Happy Enough

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
