[Verse#1:] One day I   was

Verse 1
Em 
Am 
feelin' low down
Em 
Am 
(Was havin') Bad thoughts like I won't
be around
(Was thinkin') Maybe I should
get out of this game
(I thought that) Nobody wanted
to hear me sing
C 
(I thought that) Nobody even
Am 
knew 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
Em 
Am 
(But then my) Momma said "don't you dare
Em 
Am 
think that way"
Em 
(And my) Sisters told me not
Am 
to 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
Em 
me "Stand up"
If you want to be seen,
Am 
Em 
It told me "Reach out"
Am 
So you 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 
Em 
[Verse#2:] So from now on when I hear
Am 
that voice say
Em 
(Stand up) I'm on  my feet,
Am 
Em 
and I'm showin' my  face
G 
Am 
(Because I)Won't go
quietly into the night
(I will be) Strong and faithful,
oh I will survive
Em 
Am 
Em 
(I will be) Honest to me,
I will try even when I cry
Am 
Em 
(I will be) Humble,
Am 
but 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
Em 
(I won't break) When haters test me,
Am 
focused I will stay
(And when I) Cannot hide from
those low down days
Em 
Am 
(I will just) Close my eyes and hear that voice say
Em 
Am 
Em 
Am 
D 
Am 
[Chorus ](2 Times)
Em 
Am 
Intro: Live by and die
by the power of the voice
Dm 
Am 
The voice of strength,
the voice of reason
The voice inside of me,
D 
Am 
the voice inside of you
Holds the key to the answers
to the questions
And so my story continues,
D 
Am 
D 
Am 
but this time I am guided by the voice
Am 
Of love, every step that I take
And every challenge that I face,
and its says to me
