Joy
Joy
JoyWhen I wake up in the morning, gets me out of bed
It keeps me running, skipping, jumping like a little kid
You know sometimes I can hardly keep it inside
It overtakes me, overwhelms me and I'm more aliveI did not get it from any woman or man
And it's okay if they don't always understand
It's very easy to get caught in circumstance
It's even easier to break out in a danceJoy, unspeakable joy
'Cause they did not give it, they can not take it away
Joy, unspeakable joy
In my heart and I can't let them steal my joyPeople ask me why this supernatural high
Seeing only sun when there's a cloudy sky
I know some trouble tries to surround me
But I've been given something greater deep inside of meI did not get it from any woman or man
And it's okay if they don't always understand
It's very easy to get caught in circumstance
It's even easier to break out in a danceJoy, unspeakable joy
'Cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away
Joy, unspeakable joy
In my heart and I can't let them steal myJoy, unspeakable joy
'Cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away
Joy, unspeakable joy
In my heart and I can't let them steal myJoy like peace passing all understanding
Been set free, chose freely the branding
Standing front and center with the mic in my grip
Staring at the world with a smile on my lips, flip'd the script
And changed my perspective
From the world I dwell in to introspectiveGreater is he that's in me, gotta be
Joy in the extreme, more than words can mean
Joy like a fountain some a' y'all can't feel
Joy keeps me shoutin' somethin' y'all can't steal
Sunshine or rain I retain my poise
Debris on the mic makin' joyful noiseDid not give it, cannot take it, I won't let them steal my joy
Did not give it, cannot take it, I won't let them steal my joyJoy, unspeakable joy
'Cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away
Joy, unspeakable joy
In my heart and I can't let them steal myJoy, unspeakable joy
'Cause they did not give it, they can not take it away
Joy, unspeakable joy
In my heart and I can't let them steal my joyNo no no no no
