[Verse 1] Woke up to the gray again Shadows stretching ‘round the room Trying to find a way to let the light back in And shake away this heavy gloom I felt the winter in my chest A million miles of desert sand But there’s a flicker burning deep inside Waiting for a helping hand [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel the pressure coming down Trying to turn my world into a ghost town But I know a secret, yeah, it’s true It’s the only thing to pull me through [Chorus] Give me that sunshine in my soul That feeling taking full control ‘Cause a happy heart is the only cure To keep the spirit bright and pure I don't need a potion, I don't need a pill Just a little rhythm and a whole lot of will Keep the fire burning, keep the fever high Don’t let the well inside run dry! [Verse 2] They say the bones start getting weak When you’re carrying the weight of the world Every word you choose to speak Is a flag that’s waiting to be unfurled So I’m choosing laughter, I’m choosing the beat I’m finding the honey in the bitter and the sweet I won’t let the worry turn me into stone I’m making a palace out of this home [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel the pressure coming down Trying to turn my world into a ghost town But I know a secret, yeah, it’s true It’s the only thing to pull me through [Chorus] Give me that sunshine in my soul That feeling taking full control ‘Cause a happy heart is the only cure To keep the spirit bright and pure I don't need a potion, I don't need a pill Just a little rhythm and a whole lot of will Keep the fire burning, keep the fever high Don’t let the well inside run dry! [Bridge] (Ooh, let it heal ya) When the spirit’s crushed, the river stops flowing (Ooh, can you feel it?) But when the joy is up, the garden starts growing It’s the chemistry of a simple smile Makes the journey worth every mile Yeah, it’s the medicine! It’s the medicine! [Guitar/Synth Solo - Upbeat and Soulful] [Chorus] Give me that sunshine in my soul That feeling taking full control ‘Cause a happy heart is the only cure To keep the spirit bright and pure I don't need a potion, I don't need a pill Just a little rhythm and a whole lot of will Keep the fire burning, keep the fever high Don’t let the well inside run dry! [Outro] Keep it cheerful, baby (It’s good for ya, so good for ya) Don’t let your spirit dry up (Lift it up, lift it up) Just a little medicine for the soul Yeah, that’s the way to make me whole! [Fade out with soulful ad-libs]
