Verse
It's a big, big world full of big, big trials
Full of big, big hurts
Full of weary miles
I heard a wise man say to every girl and boy,
"To live a big, big life you have a big, big choice!
You might as well be happy!
You might as well rejoice!
You might as well be happy
If you're given a choice!
You might as well be happy!
Might as well rejoice!
You might as well be happy
If you're given a choice!
Chorus
You might as well be happy!
The sun is still here shining
Though the rain be blinding
Though the wind blow strong!
You can focus on the darkness!
And you can focus on the pain and loss
Or you can see beyond!
Verse
Here's a little truth: There's a big, big God
With a big, big love enough for one and all
He can take a mountain, in your way so tall
Show you how He sees it, make it very small!
I might as well be happy!
I might as well rejoice!
I might as well be happy
If I'm given the choice!
I might as well be happy!
Might as well rejoice!
I might as well be happy
If I'm given a choice!
Chorus
I might as well be happy!
The sun is still here shining
Though the rain be blinding
Though the wind blow strong!
I can focus on the darkness!
And I can focus on the pain and loss
Or I can see beyond!
Verse
There's a big, big world with a big, big sky
With a big adventure where you learn to fly!
Whether good or bad times, you can spread your wings
Rise above the darkness to what the sunlight brings!
I might as well be happy! I might as well be happy!
I might as well be happy! I might as well be happy!
I might as well be! I might as well be!
