Verse#1: One day I was feelin' low down
|
(Was havin') Bad thoughts like I won't be around
|
(Was thinkin') Maybe I should get out of this game
|
(I thought that) Nobody wanted to hear me sing
|
(I thought that) Nobody even knew my name
|
(I thought that) Maybe 'cause it was I didn't lose weight
|
(I thought that) I had failed and I felt so ashamed
|
(And not just) At my music, but at everything
|
(But then my) Momma said "don't you dare think that way"
|
(And my) Sisters told me not to lose my faith
|
(They told me) "Get on your knees and let GOD lead the way"
|
(And then I) Closed my eyes and I heard a voice say
|
|
Chorus (2 Times):It told me "Stand up"
|
If you want to be seen,
|
It told me "Reach out"
|
So you can catch your dreams,
|
It told me "Cry out"
|
If you want to be heard
|
It told me "Be strong"
|
And take heed to my word"
|
|
Verse#2: So from now on when I hear that voice say
|
(Stand up) I'm on my feet, and I'm showin' my face
|
(Because I) Won't go quietly into the night
|
(I will be) Strong and faithful, oh I will survive
|
(I will be) Honest to me, I will try even when I cry
|
(I will be) Humble, but fearless knowing the LORD by my side
|
(I won't take) Life for granted, I'll live everyday like my last
|
(I will make) Lemonade even when lemons is all I have
|
(I will pay) All my dues and tithes in Sundays
|
(I won't break) When haters test me, focused I will stay
|
(And when I) Cannot hide from those low down days
|
(I will just) Close my eyes and hear that voice say
|
|
Chorus (2 Times)
|
|
Intro: Live by and die by the power of the voice
|
The voice of strength, the voice of reason
|
The voice inside of me, the voice inside of you
|
Holds the key to the answers to the questions
|
And so my story continues, but this time I am guided by the voice
|
Of love, every step that I take
|
And every challenge that I face, and its says to me
|
