Lately, I've been reading, watching the nightly news
Don't seem to find the rhythm
just wanna sing the blues
Feels like a song that never stops
Feels like it's never gonna

Gotta get that fire, fire, back in my bones
Before my heart, heart, turns into stone
So somebody please pass the megaphone
I'll shout it on the count of three
One, two, three...

Oh, hear my prayer tonight
I'm singing to the sky
Give me strength to raise my voice
let me testify
Oh, hear my prayer tonight
'cause this is do or die
The time has come to make a choice
And I choose joy.

Let it move you, let it move you, let it move you
Yeah, I choose joy.
Let it move you, let it move, let it move you

Yeah-eh, back when I was young
My eyes were full of life
But now that I am older, I live at the speed of light
Feels like the cycle never... stops
Feels like it's never gonna

Gotta get that fire, fire, back in my bones
Before my heart, heart, turns into stone
So somebody please pass the megaphone
I'll shout it on the count of three
One, two, three...

Oh, hear my prayer tonight
I'm singing to the sky
Give me strength to raise my voice
let me testify
Oh, hear my prayer tonight
'cause this is do or die
The time has come to make a choice
And I choose joy.

Let it move you, let it move, let it move you
Yeah, I choose joy.
Let it move you, let it move, let it move you
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of night
Oh, with You by my side, I'm stepping into the light
I choose joy.
Let it move you, let it move, let it move you

I need that joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart, down in my heart to stay
I need that joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart, down in my heart to stay

And I choose joy.
Let it move you, oh, let it,
Let it move, oh, let it move you
Oh, I choose joy.
Let it move you,
Oh, let it move, let it move you
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of night
Oh, with You by my side, I'm stepping into the light
I choose joy.
Go let it move you, go let it move you, go let it move you

(I choose joy.)
I need that joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart, down in my heart to stay
I need that joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart, down in my heart to stay
