joy.
for King Country Lyrics

Lately, I've been reading, watching the nightly news
I've been consuming a lot of negative media lately and it's getting to me.

Don't seem to find the rhythm, just wanna sing the blues
I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle of sadness and I can't seem to break free from it.

Feels like a song that never stops
My sadness feels never-ending and it's wearing me down.

Feels like it's never gonna
I'm losing hope that things will ever get better.

Gotta get that fire, fire, back in my bones
I need to find my passion and drive again.

Before my heart, heart, turns into stone
Before I become completely numb and lose all feeling.

So somebody please pass the megaphone
I need help finding my voice and speaking up.

I'll shout it on the count of three One, two, three
I'm ready to speak up and make some noise.

Oh, hear my prayer tonight, I'm singing to the sky
I'm reaching out to a higher power for strength and guidance.

Give me strength to raise my voice, let me testify
I want the courage to speak my truth and share my story.

Oh, hear my prayer tonight, 'cause this is do or die
I'm at a breaking point and I need divine intervention.

The time has come to make a choice
I realize I can't continue living like this and it's time to make a change.

And I choose joy
Despite everything, I choose to focus on joy and happiness.

Let it move you, let it move you, let it move you
Joy has the power to change us and it's important to let ourselves be moved by it.

Yeah, I choose joy
I'm making a conscious decision to prioritize joy in my life.

Back when I was young, my eyes were full of life
I used to view the world with wonder and optimism.

But now that I am older, I live at the speed of light
As an adult, I feel like I'm always rushing and never taking the time to appreciate life.

Feels like the cycle never stops
I'm stuck in a cycle of stress and busyness.

Feels like it's never gonna
It seems like I'll never be able to slow down or find peace.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of night Oh, with You by my side, I'm stepping into the light
Even in my darkest moments, I have faith that I will emerge into the light with help from a higher power.

Go let it move you, go let it move you, go let it move you
I urge others to let joy move them and inspire positive change.

I need that joy, joy, joy, joy Down in my heart, down in my heart to stay
I deeply crave joy and want it to be a permanent part of my life.

And I choose joy Oh, I choose joy
I reiterate my decision to prioritize joy in my life.
