It was one of those unfamiliar days I was looking for one friendly face There seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over my heard But I was never known to be sad All I wanted was to spread love and get some back I know the brighter days will come and find me And when there were times when I feel all alone I reach down inside, feel the strength in my soul I look to the skies, dry the tears from my eyes I let the joy rise, from the ocean to the morning sky And if the love falls, just remember You've got to let the joy rise My solid rock that I stand on now My inner faith has lifted me up now I'm free and happy to shine my light on you, for you, oh... There are no more times when I feel all alone I reached down inside, feel the strength in my soul I look to the skies, dry the tears from my eyes I let the joy rise, from the ocean to the morning sky And if the love falls, just remember You've got to let the joy rise
