[Verse 1]
I found the joy through all the pain
Through all the pain
I found the 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
[Verse 2]
And I've awakened
Who I could be through thick and thin
I'm singing my song and I'm finding my way again
I won't drown in the sea in wading in
[Verse 3]
I count my blessings
Arise from the deep, let the joy within
I know it's been hard, but I found my way again
We'll never end where we begin
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
Girl, you can forward
Come dey with me
Living lavishly
[Refrain]
Duuuu-du-du-du
