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.
