Lyric

You have the right to happiness

Your voice cut through the shadows of the night

And gently held my wounded heart in light

“They break because they’re weak,” — I nodded to those words

Told myself I had to be strong, kept blaming who I was

Bit by bit, I lost the light inside of me

Slowly fading, slowly breaking, quietly

Where did I go wrong?

By the time I looked around, I was alone

Love and dreams, they all felt so far gone

But then you softly said to me

“You have the right to happiness.”

You said it once, and then again

Until your words became my strength

They broke the night, embraced my pain

And slowly brought me back again

Behind my smile, I cried through all those days

Saying “I’m okay” was just my favorite lie to say

But truth is, I was at my breaking point

What shattered wasn’t me—just the strength I tried to fake

In a tunnel with no end

I convinced myself I’d never see the sun again

But still, your hand—it never let me go

Yes, you were there and you believed

“You have the right to happiness,”

You said it over and over again

Till tears turned into smiles that wouldn’t end

No one can take away

The worth we hold today

I’m here, you’re here

And that alone means everything is clear

Please don’t forget…

You have the right to happiness

I want to tell you that right now

Even if today feels heavy still

I swear tomorrow leads to something real

Just as you are — you are enough

You’re meant to love

And you’re meant to be loved

So bright, so true
