Lyrics Your Joy - Dawkins & Dawkins

Lonely teardrops seem to rest on my face
I kinda got used to it, it seemed commonplace
Misfortune comes to keep me cryin' all the time
But you have the key to heal this heart of mine

Sometimes it's sunshine and sometimes there's rain
We all experience some kind of pain
But in the bad times, I found out it's true
That all of my strength lies in you

Never knew life could be so sweet
But at the mention of your name

Sadness must leave for your joy has taken me over
I'm surrounded and my head is covered
I'm strong, I can carry on
Because of your joy

You ease my load when it gets too hard
When I need a friend, that's what you are
But I can't imagine life all alone
Lord, I need your joy to carry on

I never knew life could be so sweet
But at the mention of your name

Sadness must leave for your joy has taken me over
I'm surrounded and my head is covered
I'm strong, I can carry on
Because of your joy

Your joy has taken me over
I'm surrounded and my head is covered
I'm strong, I can carry on
Because of your joy

Joy in the morning, joy in the middle of the night
Joy unspeakable, you make everything alright
Joy like a river, I'm gonna let it flow
It's taken me over, I'm so glad I know

Sadness must leave for your joy has taken me over
I'm surrounded and my head is covered
I'm strong, I can carry on
Because of your joy

This joy that I have
The world didn't give it to me
And I'm not gonna let 'em take it away
Take it away from me
Joy in the middle of the night
Joy unspeakable
