Joyful Sound

Take time to give thanks, make time to be giving
I'm gonna stop and think twice about the way that I'm living
Did I say a kind word? Am I proud of my actions?
You know a job well done gives me satisfaction

Can I earn your trust, your love and affection?
Just one step at a time in the right direction
I'm gonna aim for the sky, keep my feet on the ground
Raise my voice to the heavens, make a joyful sound

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, make a joyful sound
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Can I sing for my supper and play for my rent?
I know it sounds funny, but it's how my time's spent
Greet every day with full purpose, with passion and pride
I'm gonna follow my heart, have nothing to hide

A moment of insight, I know why I'm here
You know, the time just stopped, I see it all real clear
I've got to set an example, make some mischief and fun
Do unto others and play a fat bass run

I gotta work hard every day and give it my best
Grab hold of fear and negativity and lay them to rest
I know my time here's important, can I do the right thing?
Practice patience and forgiveness, feel the joy that they bring

Can I lay down tonight without feeling regret?
I know the love that I give becomes the love that I get
Well, do you hear what I'm saying, makin' sense to you?
Well, if you feel it in your heart, then you'll wanna sing too

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, make a joyful sound
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
It's a joyful sound

I don't wanna sound preachy, make it feel all wrong
Just wanna write some kinda lyrics, sing a feel-good song
It's kinda hard to explain, it's just a feeling I get
From makin' music, makin' love, gettin' both feet wet

Well, every piece to the puzzle snaps tight in the groove
I close my eyes, breathe deeply and let my feet move
You know I feel a little better now for speaking my mind
A good vibes and circulation, see who they find

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, make a joyful sound
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Make a joyful sound
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
