HookI choose joy this morning
I choose peace today
I choose what I carry
As I go along my way
I choose joy this morning
Before the world comes in
I don't wait for life to lift me
I let the light begin within
Pre-ChorusI can meet this day with softness
I can move at my own pace
I can choose the kind of energy
I bring into this space
ChorusI choose joy this morning
I choose peace within
I choose hope when I awaken
I choose to begin again
I am light enough to breathe now
Strong enough to trust
I don't need a perfect morning
To remember who I am
I choose joy
I choose joy
I choose joy this morning
Verse 1I don't know what waits before me
I don't need to know it all
I can trust myself to meet it
I can answer when it calls
I leave yesterday behind me
Without fighting what has been
I take every lesson with me
But I don't carry every weight again
I choose music in the kitchen
I choose sunlight on my skin
I choose kindness in my thinking
I choose where my day begins
And if something doesn't go right
I can breathe and find my way
Joy doesn't mean that life is perfect
It means I still belong to me today
Pre-ChorusI can meet this day with softness
I can move at my own pace
I can choose the kind of energy
I bring into this space
ChorusI choose joy this morning
I choose peace within
I choose hope when I awaken
I choose to begin again
I am light enough to breathe now
Strong enough to trust
I don't need a perfect morning
To remember who I am
I choose joy
I choose joy
I choose joy this morning
Verse 2I choose thoughts that make me stronger
I choose words that feel like home
I choose not to make my happiness
Depend on the unknown
I can welcome what is coming
Without leaving now behind
I can care about tomorrow
Without giving it my mind
I trust the rhythm of my own life
I trust the person I have grown
I carry peace into my choices
I carry confidence wherever I go
There is freedom in remembering
I have choices I can make
And the energy I nurture
Changes how I meet the day
Pre-ChorusI can meet this day with softness
I can move at my own pace
I can choose the kind of energy
I bring into this space
ChorusI choose joy this morning
I choose peace within
I choose hope when I awaken
I choose to begin again
I am light enough to breathe now
Strong enough to trust
I don't need a perfect morning
To remember who I am
I choose joy
I choose joy
I choose joy this morning
BridgeJoy can be quiet
Joy can be still
Joy can be knowing
I trust myself
Joy can be sunlight
Coming through the door
Joy can be realizing
I don't need to ask for more
I choose gratitude
I choose presence
I choose love in how I live
I receive this morning openly
And bring my own light into it
Final ChorusI choose joy this morning
I choose peace today
I choose hope inside my thinking
As I go along my way
I am grounded
I am open
I am ready to receive
I don't need a perfect morning
To feel good about being me
I choose joy
I choose peace
I choose love
I choose me
I choose joy this morning
OutroThis is how I start
Peace in my mind
Gratitude in my heart
Whatever today becomes
I know where I begin
I choose joy
