[Verse 1]
When I was just a kid, my mom was on my back
She used to snatch me out of bed on Sunday morning
Head to Sunday School then straight to church
When the preacher starts, I start yawning
I was tired and read' to go
I couldn't wait to leave
The choir sang - they were off the chain
I started feeling differently (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
They were swinging from side to side (Ooh)
Some lady said "Pass the mic" (Ooh)
They were singing His praises I cried (Ooh)
Felt the spirit take over inside (Ooh)
It took over and made me shout (Ooh)
I caught myself and tried to close my mouth (Ooh)
I let it go and started shouting loud
I finally knew what the preacher's talking about

[Refrain / Chorus]
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music (Music)
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music

[Verse 2]
When I was old enough, I used to hit the clubs
Me and my girls spent all night partying
When I got in the house, finally laying down
Couldn't make myself get up on Sunday morning
But it came to me in a tragedy, I needed God to see
So I found my way back to the church
And the choir spoke to me, yeah (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Swinging from side to side (Ooh)
Some lady said "Pass the mic" (Ooh)
They were singing His praises, I cried (Ooh)
Felt the spirit take over inside (Ooh)
Took over and made me shout (Ooh)
I caught myself and tried to close my mouth (Ooh)
I let it go and started shouting loud
I finally knew what the preacher's talking about, yeah, yeah

[Refrain / Chorus]
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music
(Found the message in the music)
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music
(There's a message, there's a message)
I found the message in the music
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Outro]
Bring it up, bring it up, bring it up now
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music
(I'm gonna tell you what it is)
I found the message in the music
(I'm gonna tell you what it is)
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music
I found the message in the music
