Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I woke up, got another day

I woke up, let's celebrate

Throw your hands up in the sky

If you're happy, you're alive

I woke up, got another day

The sun is shining, let's get a matcha latte

I keep on smiling, oh yeah, I'm cheesing

I feel like skipping, come on and join the party

Today I'm winning, it's happy season

(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

When I'm feeling blue, yeah, I know what to do

(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

I just open my eyes and sing every time

I woke up, got another day

I woke up, let's celebrate

Throw your hands up in the sky

If you're happy, you're alive

I woke up, got another day

So what, it's raining? I'm jumping in the puddles

I ain't complainin', I'm celebratin'

I feel amazing, nothing can burst my bubble

Let's pound it on the knuckles, oh yeah

(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

When I'm feeling blue, yeah, I know what to do

(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

I just open my eyes and sing every time

I woke up, got another day

I woke up, let's celebrate

Throw your hands up in the sky

If you're happy, you're alive

I woke up, got another day

I woke up, got another day (I woke up, got another day)

I woke up, let's celebrate (I woke up, let's celebrate)

Throw your hands up in the sky

If you're happy, you're alive

I woke up, got another day (I woke up, got another day)

I woke up, got another day

I woke up, let's celebrate

I woke up, got another day

I woke up, let's celebrate
