Oh joy love you bring Oh joy make my heart sing And I drove across the desert I was in my four wheel drive I was looking for the Buddha And I saw Jesus Christ He smiled and shrugged his shoulder And lit a cigarette Said jump for joy Make some noise Remember what I said My soul is a like a ruby And I threw it in the earth But now my hands are bleeding From scrabbling in the dirt And I look up to the heavens And a light is on my face I never never never Thought I'd find a state of grace Hey joy Love you bring Oh joy Make my heart sing Oh joy Joy in everything Joy joy joy oh joy Joy joy joy oh joy I was drowning in the darkness As I drove down to the sea Joy joy joy oh joy And I looked up to the mountain And the light burst over me Joy joy joy oh oh joy You make me sing Joy [cont] Oh joy The love you bring You make me sing Oh joy In everything In everything Everything Jump for joy Jump for joy Jump for joy
