[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am][Em][Am]
[Em][Am]
[Em]
[Am][Em][Am]
[Em][Verse#1:] One day [Am]I was

[Verse 1]
feelin' [Em]low [Am]down
[Em](Was havin') Bad thoughts like [Am]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 [C]even
knew [Am]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 [Em]my) Momma said [Am]"don't you dare
[Em]think that [Am]way"
[Em](And my) Sisters told me not
to [Am]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[Em]"
If you want to be seen,
It [Am]told me "Reach out[Em]"
So you [Am]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"
[Em][Am]
[Verse#2:] So [Em]from now on when I hear
that voice [Am]say
(Stand up) I'm [Em]on my feet,
and I'm [Am]showin' [Em]my face
[G](Because I)Won[Am]'t go
quietly into the night
(I will be) Strong and faithful,
oh I will survive
[Em](I w[Am]ill be) [Em]Honest to me,
I will try even when I cry
[Am](I will [Em]be) Humble,
but [Am]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
[Em](I will pay) All my dues
[Am]and tithes in Sundays
(I won't break) When haters test [Em]me,
fo[Am]cused I will stay
(And when I) Cannot hide from
those low down days
(I will just) Close my eyes and hear that voice [Em]say[Am]
[Em][Am]
[Em]
[Am]
[D][Am]
[Chorus ](2 Times)
[Em]Intro: Live [Am]by and die
by the power of the voice
[Dm]The [Am]voice of strength,
the voice of reason
The voice inside of me,
the voice inside [D]of [Am]you
Holds the key to the answers
to the questions
And so my story continues,
[D]but[Am] this[D] time I [Am]am guided by the voice
Of love, [Am]every step that I take
And every challenge that I face,
and its says to me
