Joy Testo

Joy
Oh Joy
C'mon now, c'mon now
Joy
Oh 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

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
C'mon now, c'mon now
Joy Oh Joy
Joy
Oh Joy
C'mon now, c'mon 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 all of the madness
And the moments of pain
You'd just close both your eyes
And repeat your name

Joy
Oh Joy
C'mon now, c'mon now
Joy
Oh Joy
Joy
Oh Joy
C'mon now, c'mon now
Joy
Oh Joy

Well I been tellin' myself
It's 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 force on this earth
That couldn't silence the voice
And the real fear in me
Is that I wouldn't 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
C'mon now, c'mon now
Joy
Oh Joy
Joy
Oh Joy
C'mon now, c'mon now
Joy
Oh Joy
Joy
Oh Joy
C'mon now, c'mon now
Joy
Oh Joy
Joy
Oh Joy
C'mon now, c'mon now
Joy
Oh Joy
