People are sometimes confused about prayer
And that's the saddest thing for me
Because people think it's only when something goes wrong,
That's when you pray
This one might leave you teary-eyed,
This one gon' keep you flyin' high
This one gon' get you through the night, this song is called "Joy"
Sweet joy
I had to conquer my fears, I had to wrestle with faith
I made some plans for the future, them plans kept showin' up late
That led to joy
Sweet joy (sweet joy)
Became a stranger to friends, but real pally with my doubts
I had to lose the bigger picture just to figure me out
To find some joy (all we need is a little joy)
Sweet joy
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Joy
Tell somebody, say
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Joy
The CEO of excuses, the prince of maskin' my pain
I used to high-five my woes
I used to know them by name
'Til I found joy, oh, sweet joy
Ah
Maybe I was trippin', could've been the pressure
Maybe I'll stop seekin' all these earthly pleasures
Maybe I'll find joy, sweet joy (sweet joy)
Oh, oh-oh
(La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la) we're just searching for some joy
Oh, joy
Grab somebody, anybody, say yeah
(La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la) I just found my joy, oh yeah
Joy
So, my source of joy has not been from the things I have
But it's been from being in his presence
(Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring)
('Cause we got joy, sweet joy)
(Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring)
('Cause we got joy, sweet joy)
Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring
'Cause we got joy, sweet joy
Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring
'Cause we got joy, sweet joy
Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring
'Cause we got joy, sweet joy
Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring
'Cause we got joy, sweet joy
