But don't you want your kids to grow up to be just like me?
Turn the radio on, let the music play
I don't mean to be heavy but come let me say this last thing
But the power that you get from the heart of a human being
It's like I'm standing on my tippy-toes
But I was only just singing the blues
I mean dead serious damn near 'bout to die 'bout some
Don't be too proud to turn your radio way up loud
Because he always got on his game and his good shoes
If I could I'd dance my life away
Four million flavors of the southern soul flower
But you can call me The Soul Machine
'Cause the beginning and the ending and the mis assumption
If I thought that I was only just singing the fool
Make a joyful noise, fifth around it's another day
Wealth is home and happiness and health
If I could I'd dance my life away
Only the mind is mechanic the dynamic happens
And I really think true
And I sing because I'm happy
Have mercy if I seem to be heavy
And said something 'bout living was to earn my ones
And God can truly work a miracle
And if you can't seem to find any words to say
Hey now, when you see me you would know that you saw me
And this my own little thing, yes, I agree
Close your eyes and have fun
So when you really, really need you some soul
Just make the most of it in between
If I could I'd dance my life away
I used to feel like God was gonna call me too soon
Difficult to stop creating can't wait
And if you can't seem to find any words to say
Have mercy if I seem to be heavy
And as far as me being good, I can't help myself
Make a joyful noise, fifth around it's another day
The reason why I had to have my son
Look at me isn't it obvious that I'm one?
I'm so much further than they are
And every time I've ever opened my mouth
I don't mean to be heavy, wait I'm almost done
And I sing because I'm free
Have mercy if I seem to be heavy
I don't mean to be heavy, maybe 'Lo you should lighten up
Isn't it ironic how it feels so good?
Trying to catch joy in a glass jar and yes by far
Turn the radio on, let the music play
Watch, see what I mean?
I really would if I could but I really don't think
'Cause they came to see God, then Green tell 'em the good news
And if you can't seem to find any words to say
A little cash and you'll need nothing else
I wouldn't open my mouth about it at all
To touch a star
When the divine starts to intervene
Turn the radio on, let the music play
That anybody shell out enough
