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
