Lyrics
VERSE 1) I feel good today nothing's standing in my way
all that I can say is "thank you, wow"
I get to do what I've been designed to do
and when the day is through I'll feel like I can fly
CHORUS) When I sing that's when I feel best
Feeling like I'm blessed knowing that I'm manifesting gladness
When I sing I'm right where I belong
Enraptured by a song
Caught up in the melody and rhythm I am strong
My heart can fly
VERSE 2) I feel good tonight got my destiny in sight
It is so delightful singing now
Getting to do what I've been designed to do
And when the day is through I'll feel like I can fly
CHORUS) When I sing that's when I feel best
Feeling like I'm blessed knowing that I"m manifesting gladness
When I sing I'm right where I belong
Enraptured by a song
Caught up in the melody and rhythm I am strong
My heart will fly
