Joyful Sound Lyrics & Chords By The String Cheese Incident

Take time to give thanks, make time to be giving
I'm gonna 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
I'm gonna 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 na
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 gonna follow my heart, have nothing to hide
A moment of insight; I know why I'm here
you know, the time just stopped, I 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
I gotta work hard every day and give it my best
grab hold of fear and negativity and lay 'em 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, makin' sense to you?
if you feel it in your heart then you'll wanna sing too
I don't want to sound preachy, make it feel all wrong
just want to write some kind of lyrics, sing a feel-good song
it's kind of hard to explain, it's just a feeling I get
from makin' music, makin' love, gettin' both feet wet
Every piece to the puzzle snaps tight in 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 and circulation, see who they find
