Joy

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
