String Cheese Incident – Joyful Sound lyrics

Take time to give thanks
Make time to be given
I'm going to 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

Going to aim for the sky
Keep my feet on the ground
Raise my voice to the heavens
Make a joyful sound

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaaaaaa....
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 going to follow my heart
And have nothing to hide

A moment of insight
I know why I'm here
You know when the time just stops
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

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaaaaaa....
Make a joyful sound I got to work hard everyday
And give it my best
Grab hold of fear and negativity
And lay them 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
Making sense to you?
Well if you feel it in your heart
Then you might want to sing too

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaaaaaa....
Make a joyful sound

I don't want to sound preachy
Make you feel all wrong
Just want to write some kind lyrics
Sing a feel good song

It's kind of hard to explain
It is just a feeling I get
From making music making love
Getting both feet wet

Well every piece to the puzzle
Snapped tight to 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 in circulation and
See who they find

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaaaaaa....
Make a joyful sound
