JOY!!!! JOY!!!!

JOY!!!! Unspeakable joy
'cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away
JOY!!!! Unspeakable joy!
'cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away

When I wake up in the morning it gets me out of bed
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 alive
I did not get it from any woman or man
and it's ok if they don't always understand
It's very easy to get caught in circumstance
but it's even easier to break out in a dance

* 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
JOY!!!! Unspeakable joy!
'cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away

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 ok if they don't always understand
It's very easy to get caught in circumstance
but it's even easier to break out in a dance

* repeat

JOY!!!! Unspeakable joy!
'cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away
JOY!!!! Unspeakable joy!
in my heart and I won't let them steal my joy!

When I'm facing opposition or bad attitudes
Preconceived notions, dispositions are completely rude.
When darkness thinks that it's outdone me
I must remember that the greater love's inside of me.

I did not get it from any woman or man
and it's ok if they don't always understand
It's very easy to get caught in circumstance.
but it's even easier to break out in a dance
