Me and fear, we had a thing in 1993
Told me I was wasting time with all these silly dreams
I dated doubt, she knocked me down every time I triedBut I found joy in my life
Sorrow swept me off my feet in 2009
I took long walks on the beach next to the oceans that we cried
And grief she came and overstayed way longer than I′d liked
But I found joy in my life
I found joy, yeah, she opened up my eyes
It gave me wings and halo rings and taught me how to fly
Woo, ooh, I feel like a million lights
I found joy in my life
And got me like, yeah, oh
I found joy in my life
And got me like, yeah, oh
I found joy in my life
Pressure pushed me to the edge, she worked me to the bone
And jealousy, she lied to me, said I needed things I don't
Shame, she had a way to make me hate myself inside
But I found joy in my life
I found joy on the loneliest of nights
I bought a rock, I tied the knot, and I′m making her my wife
Woo, ooh, I feel like a million lights
I found joy in my life
And got me like, yeah, oh
I found joy in my life
And got me like, yeah, oh
I found joy in my life
There were days I did not know
If she would pack her bags and go
But that's my girl forever though
And she knows, she knows
I found joy and I kiss her every night
She gave me two more of her and I can't believe they′re mine
Mmm, now I′m basking in their light
I found joy, I found joy
Yeah, oh
I found joy in my life
And got me like, yeah, oh
I found joy in my life
I found joy in my life
