Your Happiness is Part of Mine

Lyric

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 4 days ago • 2 min read

[Verse 1]
I used to count the good days
By the things I brought back home
Now I notice how the room feels
When you walk in carrying your own
Tell me what you’re hoping for
Tell me what you’re scared to try
I want to be the steady hand
That helps your small brave wishes fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Your joy is not a borrowed thing
It changes everything in me
[Chorus]
Your happiness is part of mine
Your open heart, your growing light
When you find a road that feels like you
I feel my whole world opening too
Love is not a claim or chain
It’s making room for you to reign
And every time your spirit rises
Something in my own comes alive
[Verse 2]
I’ll cheer the work you care about
The quiet wins nobody sees
And when the plans fall out of place
I’ll stay beside you while you breathe
You don’t have to dim your colors
You don’t have to make them small
The more you stand in who you are
The more I feel I have it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Your joy is not a borrowed thing
It changes everything in me
[Chorus]
Your happiness is part of mine
Your open heart, your growing light
When you find a road that feels like you
I feel my whole world opening too
Love is not a claim or chain
It’s making room for you to reign
And every time your spirit rises
Something in my own comes alive
[Bridge]
If the years redraw the map
If the ground shifts underfoot
I will meet you where you stand
And keep believing in your roots
May your laughter fill the house
May your courage take you far
I don’t love you for your needing
I love the person that you are
[Final Chorus]
Your happiness is part of mine
Your open heart, your growing light
When you find a road that feels like you
I feel my whole world opening too
Love is not a claim or chain
It’s making room for you to reign
And every time your spirit rises
Something in my own comes alive
Something in my own comes alive
[Outro]
Your happiness is part of mine
