[Verse 1]
Couldn't relax
Couldn't sit back
And let the sunlight
In my lap
I sang a hymn
To bring me peace
And then it came
A melody

[Verse 2]
It felt so sweet
It felt so strong
It made me feel like
I belonged
And all the sadness
Inside me
Melted away
Like I was free

[Chorus 1]
I found what I'd been looking for in myself
Found a life worth living for someone else
Never thought that I could be, I could be
Happy, happy

[Verse 3]
Don't go out
Much at all
I've never been
The type to call
I realise
To be happy
Maybe I need
A little company

[Verse 4]
So now you know
You know it all
That I've been
Des-desperately alone
I haven't found
The one for me
But I believe
In divinity

[Chorus 1]
I found what I'd been looking for in myself
Found a life worth living for someone else
Never thought that I could be, I could be
Happy, happy

[Chorus 2]
I believe in possibility
I believe someone’s watching over me
And finally, I have found a way to be
Happy, happy

[Bridge]
From the concrete to the coast
I was looking for a holy ghost
Like the land joining the sea
Happiness it followed me

[Chorus 2]
I believe in possibility
I believe someone's watching over me
And finally, I have found a way to be
Happy, happy, happy

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
