|
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 |
|
(chorus) |
|
Na na na na na na na na |
|
Make a joyful sound |
|
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 everyday 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 'em 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? |
|
if you feel it in your heart then you'll wanna sing too |
|
(chorus) |
|
I don't want to sound preachy, make it feel all wrong |
|
just want to write some kind of lyrics, sing a feel-good song |
|
it's kind of hard to explain, it's just a feeling I get |
|
from makin' music, makin' love, gettin' both feet wet |
|
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 |
|
good vibes and circulation, see who they find |
|
(chorus) |
