Joyful - Joyful

"Joyful - Joyful!" Cried a man's soul When the world killed him because of his skin Hurt him and Destroyed him from the outside - in "Joyful - Joyful!" Was the Black Man's smile When the White man spat on his face And turned his name into a disgrace Joyful, Joyful 'Cause he knew his dream Even though people thought - It wouldn't turn out as he seemed Joyful, Joyful 'Cause God had a better plan God revealed it to him He revealed a Better Man Joyful, Joyful I'm the man that shouts "Joyful - Joyful!" - I'll tell the whole world what it's about.
