When I wake up in the morning
Gets me out of bed
It 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 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

Joy, unspeakable joy
'Cause they did not give it
They can not take it away
Joy, unspeakable joy
In my heart and I can't let them steal my joy

People ask me why this supernatural high
Seeing only sun when there's a cloudy sky
I know some trouble tries to surround me
But I've been given something greater deep inside of me

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

Joy like peace passing all understanding
Been set free, chose freely the branding
Standing front and center with the mic in my grip
Staring at the world with a smile on my lips, flip'd the script
And changed my perspective from the world I dwell in to introspective
Greater is He that's in me, gotta be
Joy in the extreme, more than words can mean
Joy like a fountain some a' ya'll can't feel
Joy keeps me shouting something ya'll can't steal
Sunshine or rain I retain my poise
Debris on the mic makin' joyful noise.
