Lyrics
WHEN THE WALLS COME TUMBLING DOWN I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
WHEN THE WORLD STOPS SPINNING `ROUND I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
WHEN MY HEART WON'T SEEM TO MOVE
WHEN MY MUSIC'S LOST THE GROOVE
WHEN I HAVE TOO MUCH TO PROVE I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
WHEN HATE IS ALL I SEE I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
WHEN FEAR WON'T LET ME BE I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
WHEN BETRAYAL AND LIES
HIDE THE LIGHT FROM MY EYES
I LOOK UP TO THE SKIES AND I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
JOY JOY JOY JOY JOY I CHOOSE JOY (2X)
IN THIS MOMENT RIGHT HERE I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
FOR THE ONES THAT I HOLD DEAR I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
TO BE WHO I MUST BE
FOR THE LIGHT TO SHINE IN ME
FOR EVERYBODY TO BE FREE I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
JOY JOY JOY JOY JOY I CHOOSE JOY (2X)
BRIDGE
I FIND A STABLE GROUND PEACE AND HOPE ABOUND
I HEAR A SWEETER SOUND THE CHAINS HAVE COME UNBOUND
LOVE IS ALL AROUND WHEN I CHOOSE JOY
IN THIS MOMENT RIGHT HERE I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
FOR THE ONES THAT I HOLD DEAR I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
TO BE WHO I MUST BE
FOR THE LIGHT TO SHINE IN ME
FOR EVERYBODY TO BE FREE I CHOOSE JOY (I CHOOSE JOY)
EVERYBODY WILL BE FREE WHEN I CHOOSE JOY (I ... CHOOSE .... JOY)
