Joy

Me and fear, we had a thing in 1993
 Told me I was wasting time with all these silly dreams
 I dated doubt, she knocked me down every time I tried
 But I found joy in my life
 Sorrow swept me off my feet in 2009
 I took long walks on the beach next to the oceans that we cried
 And grief she came and overstayed way longer than I'd liked
 But I found joy in my life
 I found joy, yeah, she opened up my eyes
 It gave me wings and halo rings and taught me how to fly
 Woo, ooh, I feel like a million lights
 I found joy in my life
 And got me like, yeah, oh
 I found joy in my life
 And got me like, yeah, oh
 I found joy in my life
 Pressure pushed me to the edge, she worked me to the bone
 And jealousy, she lied to me, said I needed things I don't
 Shame, she had a way to make me hate myself inside
 But I found joy in my life
 I found joy on the loneliest of nights
 I bought a rock, I tied the knot, and I'm making her my wife
 Woo, ooh, I feel like a million lights
 I found joy in my life
 And got me like, yeah, oh
 I found joy in my life
 And got me like, yeah, oh
 I found joy in my life
 There were days I did not know
 If she would pack her bags and go
 But that's my girl forever though
 And she knows, she knows
 I found joy and I kiss her every night
 She gave me two more of her and I can't believe they're mine
 Mmm, now I'm basking in their light
 I found joy, I found joy
 Yeah, oh
 I found joy in my life
 And got me like, yeah, oh
 I found joy in my life
 I found joy in my life
