Why so serious, why so serious?
Why do we have to be so serious?
Oh, my eyes have seen, oh, my eyes have seen
Seen the Lord in the land of the living
My body's getting older but I know I'm still a child
My faith is young as ever, my spirit is alive
I'm rising up on eagles' wings, about to take flight
I'm about to take flight
Command my soul to praise
Get up, my soul, and bless the Lord
You don't need permission, You don't wanna miss it
Get up, my soul, and bless the Lord
Hey now, have you heard, hey now, have you heard?
The Spirit of the Lord is here, there's freedom
He's been good to me, He's been good to me
Oh, the Lord, He has been so good to me
My body's getting older but I know I'm still a child
My faith is young as ever, my spirit is alive
I'm rising up on eagles' wings, about to take flight
I'm about to take flight
Command my soul to praise
Get up, my soul, and bless the Lord
You don't need permission, You don't wanna miss it
Get up, my soul, and bless the Lord
Command my soul to praise
Get up, my soul, and bless the Lord
It might look foolish, but I still do it
Get up, my soul, and bless the Lord
Dance undignified, raise your banner high
Wave it all around, wave it all around
Dream and prophecy, sing with all your might
Make a joyful sound
Dance undignified, raise your banner high
Wave it all around, wave it all around
Dream and prophecy, sing with all your might
Make a joyful sound, make a joyful sound
Make a joyful sound, make a joyful sound
Make a joyful sound, make a joyful sound
Make a joyful sound
Command my soul to praise
Get up, my soul, and bless the Lord
It might look foolish, but I still do it
Get up, my soul, and bless the Lord
Make a joyful sound, make a joyful sound
Make a joyful sound
Make a joyful sound, make a joyful sound
Make a joyful sound
