Joy Gives Us Wings (feat. Brian)

Joy gives us wings
Joy gives us wings to fly so high

We only really feel 2 things, joy and pain
Feels like they live in different quarters, but the coin's the same
The way you feel can turn on a dime, to coin a phrase
When you endure the rain, the sun's a joy to behold
Especially when the world is wet with tears
From the pain and grief, it's hard to forget your fears
And when everyday a new threat seems to appear
Look to the edge of the atmosphere, what brings joy to your soul
When sadness comes to visit, my spirit feels weak
When depression shows up, I can't even speak
Anxiety stops by and tries to trick my mind
Got me feeling dead inside, pain destroying the home inside my heart
Lord forgive me for these trespasses
My heart belongs to You, that's Your home, I give it back
And instantly I feel relief, my joy returns, I'm better now
To keep my spirit from the rain, I fly above the clouds

Joy gives us wings
Joy gives us wings to fly so high
Joy gives us wings
Joy gives us wings to fly so high

I woke up this morning with a lot to say
went inside bathroom splashed some water on my face
Little devil on my shoulder started talking crazy
I've been running for so long
Why he gotta chase me?
Put up 4 walls just to keep me safe
I got the whole wide world inside a picture frame
And that's enough ain't it?
But that's just him talking
So I sit locked in
These mental chains
The glass walls keep me contained
I sit and I pray
I meditate and then zone
bring my soul out
If I don't break it, my whole life is wasted
I got light inside my heart, so I gotta make it
grab a chair, throw it out the wall
I see the cracks in it
put my fist through it
I hear the birds chirping. This is God's music
I feel inner peace when my feet hit the grass
I feel blessed
This too shall pass

Joy gives us wings
Joy gives us wings to fly so high
Joy gives us wings
Joy gives us wings to fly so high
