Let the joy rise

It was one of those unfamiliar days
I was looking for one friendly face
There seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over my heard
But I was never known to be sad
All I wanted was to spread love and get some back
I know the brighter days will come and find me

And when there were times when I feel all alone
I reach down inside, feel the strength in my soul
I look to the skies, dry the tears from my eyes

I let the joy rise, from the ocean to the morning sky
And if the love falls, just remember
You've got to let the joy rise

My solid rock that I stand on now
My inner faith has lifted me up now
I'm free and happy to shine my light on you, for you, oh...

There are no more times when I feel all alone
I reached down inside, feel the strength in my soul
I look to the skies, dry the tears from my eyes

I let the joy rise, from the ocean to the morning sky
And if the love falls, just remember
You've got to let the joy rise
