Verse 1 I woke up feelin’ light, got a rhythm in my step, not the same weight sittin’ heavy on my chest, I remember how it felt when I couldn’t get rest, now I breathe different—yeah, I’m truly blessed. This ain’t hype for a minute, this a shift in my core, this ain’t somethin’ I put on, I ain’t playin’ a role, this a joy that remains even when I’m unsure, and it keeps me movin’ forward, I don’t stall anymore. I ain’t lookin’ for a reason, I already got one, look at everything He did, look at where I came from, look at all the times I thought I was done, and He pulled me right back, said, “you’re not undone.” That right there got me smilin’ out the gate, I don’t need a perfect day just to celebrate, I don’t need it all lined up just to say, “I’m thankful, God”—I mean that every day. Used to drag my feet, now I move with a bounce, used to hold it all in, now I let it out, if you see me lit up, it ain’t for the crowd, it’s ‘cause I know who lifted me out. And I don’t keep it quiet, I ain’t built like that, when your life get changed, you don’t hide that fact, I’m speakin’ on it freely, I ain’t holdin’ it back, I give glory where it’s due—yeah, I state that flat. I don’t dance for approval, I move ‘cause I’m free, I don’t need validation just to be me, I got somethin’ inside that’s bigger than me, and it shows every time that I step on the beat. You can feel it in the way that I lift my voice, not forced, not fake—this a real-life choice, I’m alive in a way I can’t avoid, and I’m thankin’ God loud ‘cause He filled that void. Hook This joy don’t sit still, I gotta move with it, I can’t keep it inside, I’m too full with it, every step that I take got a groove in it, I’m alive, I’m awake—God, You did it. Through God the Father, I’m standin’ in light, through Jesus my Savior, I’m walkin’ in life, through the Spirit that moves, I’m feelin’ it rise, this joy don’t sit still—I’m livin’ it right. Verse 2 I remember them days I was stuck in a fog, couldn’t see where I’m goin’, couldn’t hear God, tried to figure it out with my own thoughts, but I kept gettin’ lost, couldn’t break out. Now I look back, I see every move, how He carried me through when I didn’t have a clue, how He never gave up even when I would, and I can’t ignore that—I know that’s truth. So I celebrate different, I don’t play it cool, I don’t act like I didn’t walk through what I went through, I don’t act like I made it all on my own, I know where I was, and I know who showed up in the middle of mess I created, when I was confused and mentally faded, He stepped in calm, never once degraded, just showed me truth till my heart got grounded. Through Jesus Christ, I was lifted for real, not just talk, not just somethin’ I feel, but a life transformation I still can’t conceal, and it changed every part of the way that I live. Through the Spirit I’m guided when I start to drift, He brings me right back, don’t let me slip, He keeps me aligned when I lose my grip, and reminds me again what I’ve been given in Him. And God the Father, You gave me this life, not just breath in my lungs, but a brand new sight, I can see things clear, I can walk it right, I ain’t bound by the past, I ain’t stuck in that fight. That alone got me liftin’ my hands, not outta habit, but ‘cause I understand what it means to be held in a greater plan, and I’m livin’ it out every chance that I can. Hook This joy don’t sit still, I gotta move with it, I can’t keep it inside, I’m too full with it, every step that I take got a groove in it, I’m alive, I’m awake—God, You did it. Through God the Father, I’m standin’ in light, through Jesus my Savior, I’m walkin’ in life, through the Spirit that moves, I’m feelin’ it rise, this joy don’t sit still—I’m livin’ it right.
