Jordan Copas - Unhappy People Lyrics

I grew up here in the United States of America where there's a lot of people who have what they need
They just don't have what they want
Unhappy people they never satisfied
I love my country but we're not free
I don't have what I want help me to see that I've got what I need
I need to be grateful I'm in this fight like Rocky and Creed
My mind's at war it's being deceived this is a test
To get over myself and my image why do I need all the best
I don't
So I'm lacing my shoes I'm training for war I'm jumping this rope
I'm staying in shape building my lungs running these slopes
I know what it's like to not have so I can speak to the not haves
I'm lighting a flame and sparking a torch bringing the hope to these broke dads
He's choosing the poor he's choosing the weak
He's choosing the humble he's choosing the meek
This view is not popular it's kind of unlikely
So many people are breaking their covenant over this one word of being unhappy
So what are we lacking in this world that we live in
We've got the envy the greed consuming our hearts desire sinning
The kids and the grown ups always want more
We need to be satisfied down in the core
Unhappy people God we need you
God we need you!
You are the cure
You can have this joy that everyone else can see
We live in America where we have what we need but we are not free
We always want more I guess you can say we not satisfied
Unhappy people need to be transformed on the inside
I need joy I need joy I need joy
I need joy I need joy
I just want to be happy
I need joy I need joy I need joy
I need joy I need joy
I just want to be happy
You eating yourself dare to do drugs maybe you'll fly
Not content with this life you going through hell let's make it legal and all go get high
Na bro that is not what I be on bro
Don't you know what I be standing for
I can get high with no hydro
These kids are bored they got to do something
Unhappy with life better than nothing
Maybe they'll feel it maybe they'll love it but later in life they'll feel disgusting
And that is a promise the voids you are filling are limited yeah
Temporary is cool but this joy you can have is unlimited yeah
Let's regenerate like Rob Cook a pastor in Philly
It's the city of brotherly love but what's up my brothers you hear me?
The joy of the Lord will overcome anything standing against
My God is not limited you are not either by circumstance
We rising above the waves of life
We shouting we jumping we dancing we praising
We are like eagles facing a storm no need to be fearful God is amazing
Salvation is here so where is your joy?
The kings and queens you girls and boys
You can have this joy that everyone else can see
We live in America where we have what we need but we are not free
We always want more I guess you can say we not satisfied
Unhappy people need to be transformed on the inside
I need joy I need joy I need joy
I need joy I need joy
I just want to be happy
I need joy I need joy I need joy
I need joy I need joy
I just want to be happy
