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 tried 
 But 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 
 And 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   
 And 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
