Gimme Happiness - Jodie (Lyrical Video)

Gimme Happiness is a raw emotional song that mirrors the story of "The Prodigal Son"—but told through a woman’s eyes. It’s a song of reckless and total surrender. Like a child, the song requests, without any embellishments, "Gimme Happiness"... "Please, don't leave me." It’s a song of mercy and a solemn request for vindication. This is a truly beautiful song that captures a particular moment in the writer's life... painting the intense and pure primary emotion at the time it was written. Listen and let it meet you in your own moment of surrender. 💕 _________________________ Written and composed by Joy Odiete (Jodie) Produced by Eben Rolls _________________________ LYRICS: I'm going down on my knees No, no, no other way for me Baba, Baba, hear my plea I cry to You, have mercy I'm going down on my knees No, no, no other way for me Baba, Baba, hear my plea I cry to You, have mercy I feel a chilling - chilling, chilling I feel a chilling in my soul I cannot do this The more I try to fix I destroy more Please, hold my hand Show me the way I don't have a plan I don't want to have a plan I feel no joy I feel no pain My life is finished If you forget me Please, don't leave me Please, don't leave me Oh, Lord, Lord Gimme happiness Too many wahala but Put a smile upon my face Oluwa o, gimme happiness Make me a better person Put a smile upon my face The people, judging me And I understand what they think But You see deep within You know the truth, have mercy They see a woman You see a child They see the worst, but You see the very best My heart is broken My soul is torn But I know it's your love That will surely make me whole Please, don't leave me Please, don't leave me Oh, Lord, Lord Gimme happiness Too many wahala but Put a smile upon my face Oluwa o, gimme happiness Make me a better person Put a smile upon my face Oh, Lord, Lord Gimme happiness Too many wahala but Put a smile upon my face Oluwa o, gimme happiness Make me a better person Put a smile upon my face Oluwa o!
