Joy!
[Verse 1]
When I wake up in the morning gets me outta bed
Keeps me runnin', skippin', jumpin' like a little kid
You know sometimes I can hardly keep it inside
It overtakes me, overwhelms me and I'm more alive
I did not get it from any woman or man
And it's okay if they don't always understand
In my heart and I can't (let them) steal my... joy!
[Verse 2]
People ask me why this supernatural high
Seeing only sun when there's a cloudy sky
I know that trouble tries to surround me
But I've been given something greater deep inside me
I did not get it from any woman or man
And it's okay if they don't always understand
Unspeakable joy!
They did not give it, they cannot take it away!
[Verse 3]
When I'm facing opposition of bad attitudes
We can see notions, dispositions of completely rude
When darkness thinks that it's outdone me
I must remember that the greater love's inside me
It's very easy to get caught in circumstance
It's even easier to break out in a dance
I've got joy!
I've got joy!
I've got joy!
I've got joy!
Joy! Unspeakable joy!
In my heart...
Joy! Unspeakable joy!
'cause they...
[Chorus]
Joy! 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 my...
Joy! Unspeakable joy!
'cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away!
[Chorus]
Joy! 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 my...
Joy! Unspeakable joy!
'cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away!
