Lately, I've been reeling
Watching the nightly news
Don't seem to find the rhythm
Just want to 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 into stone
Now won't somebody
Please pass the megaphone
I'll shout it on the count of three
1..2..3..
Oh hear my prayer
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
Yeah, back when I was young
My eyes were full of life
But now that I am older
I live at the speed of life
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 into stone
Now won't somebody
Please pass the megaphone
I'll shout it on the count of three
1..2..3..
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
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 the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart
Down in my heart to stay
