Joy

Well we met in a dream

I never could shake

A vision that lingers

Through all of my days

Struck like a bolt

By those big brown eyes

Through an ocean of freckles

I heard you cry

Give me a body

Give me a face

Give me a world

Of beauty and grace

Give me a temple

Give me a home

Call me to earth

Where my soul can roam

Go and stack the deck of life

In my favor

And name me

Joy

Oh Joy

Cmon now cmon now

Joy

Oh Joy

Joy

Oh Joy

Cmon now cmon now

Joy

Oh Joy

Well I hope you'd have

All of my passion

And none of my rage

A heartbeat like thunder

A tongue like a blade

The truth you would speak

In a room full of lies

And when they came for your head

You'd look them dead in the eye

No you'd never surrender

Or falter in faith

Or fail to remember

The reason you came

And in the moments of darkness

And the moments of pain

You'd just close both your eyes

And repeat your name

Joy

Oh Joy

Cmon now cmon now

Joy

Oh Joy

Joy

Oh Joy

Cmon now cmon now

Joy

Oh Joy

Well I been telling myself

Its too cold of a world

Too ugly a place

To bring an innocent girl

But I know in my heart

That if life is your choice

There's no voice on this earth

That couldn't silence the voice

And the real fear in me

Is that I would be shit

As a dad as a man

As a guide on the trip

And you would be better off

Born to a man

With goodness and patience

And time on his hands

And maybe in some strange stroke of fate

We'll pass on a street in some far away place

And we'll share a smile

Or catch at the eyes

And some place in me

Will recognize

Joy

Oh Joy

Cmon now cmon now

Joy

Oh Joy

Joy

Oh Joy

Cmon now cmon now

Joy

Oh Joy
