“Joy” Lyrics

Ohhh do-do-do
Sheezy
Ohhh do-do-do
Baddest!
Ohhh do-do-do

I found the joy through all the pain
Through all the pain
I found a sun
Through all the rain
Through all the rain
I found the power
The brand new day
The brand new day
I found the power
The brand new day
The brand new day

And I've awaken
Who I could be through the thick and thin
I'm singing my song
And I'm finding my way again
Won't drown in the sea, I am wading in
I count my blessings
Ohhhh
Arise from the deep, let the joy within
Ohhhh
I know it's been hard, but I found my way again
Ohhhh
We will never end when we begin
Ohhhh

I found my hope when it was lost, when it was lost
I helped my heart out of the dark, out of the dark

I found the power
The brand new day
The brand new day
I found the power
The brand new day
The brand new day

There is a love, I only know, I only know
I found the strength to let hurt go, to let hurt go
I found the power
As you can see
Dem no believe
Then you come forward
Come dey with me
Living lavishly

Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh do-do-do
Ife ni aye oh
Ayessi ni ife rere okan oh
Ife ni aye oh
Irora kan kole fara kpa mi o
Ohhh do-do-do
Ewadjade
Ohhh do-do-do
Omo eniyan ewa
Ayessi
Ayessi ni ife
Ire okan mi o
Baddest
