Time to give thanks make time to be giving
Gotta 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 love and affection
Just one step at a time in the right direction
Gotta aim towards the sky keep my feet on the ground
Raise my voice to the heavens make a joyful sound

Na Na Na.....make a joyful sound
Na Na Na

Can i sing for supper  play for my rent
I know it sounds funny but its how my times spent
lead everyday with full purpose with passion and pride
Gonna follow my heart have nothing to hide
a moment of insight I know why I'm here
You know the time just stops I see it all real clear
Gonna set an example make some mischief and fun
I wanna do unto others and play a fat bass run

Solo over main lick

Gotta work hard everyday give it my best
grab hold of fear and negitivity 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 that the love that I give becomes the love that I get
Do you hear what I saying making sense to you
Well if you feel it in your heart you might want to sing too

Na Na Na.....make a joyful sound
Na Na Na.....

I don't want to sound preachy make it feel all wrong
Just want to write some kind lyrics sing a feel good song
Its kinda hard to explain its just a feeling I get
Making music making love getting both feet wet
Every piece to the puzzle snap tight in the groove
Close my eyes breath deep let my feet move
you know i feel a little better now speaking my mind
spread good vibes and circulation and see who they find
