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 mortified
I Did not get it from any ole' little 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 dance
Chorus:
JOY!
Unspeakable Joy!
'Cause they did not give it, and 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 , and cannot take it away!
JOY!
Unspeakable Joy!
'Cause they did not give it, and cannot take it away!
People ask my why this supernatural high
Seeing only sun when there's a cloudy sky
I know the trouble tries to surround me
But I've been given something greater deep inside of me
I did not get it from any old little 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 dance
(Chorus)
JOY!(x3)
(Chorus)
JOY!
Unspeakable Joy!
'Cause they did not give it, and they can not take it away!
JOY!
Unspeakable Joy!
In my heart and I can't let them steal my
JOY! (x11)
(Chorus)
When I'm facing opposition of that attitudes
We come see notions, dispositions are completely rude
When darkness thinks that it's outdone me,
I must remember the greater love's inside me
I did not get it from any old little 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 dance
(Chorus)
JOY!(x5)
