Joy (Intro)

[Intro: Curtis Roach]
Joy, yeah

[Verse: Curtis Roach]
Yeah, joy, what does it mean to you?
Is it money, fortune, fame, glamour, and gleam to you?
Does it come in the form of song, does it sing to you?
Does it mean fresh air, water, and trees, love and peace?
Tell me do you need company, or is it solitude?
Is it in sobriety or them bottles?
Do you need a little therapy? Do you need to talk it through?
I wish I had the answers 'cause I feel lost too
I wish I knew, feelin' happy harder than feelin' blue
It's feelin' like I'm constantly workin' on it and gettin' through
Gettin' to some form of light at the end of tunnels
I need strength beyond my musclеs, it's somethin' to ease thе troubles

[Pre-Chorus: Curtis Roach]
I need real joy, long-lasting, not fleeting happiness
That real joy, when them tears ain't symbols for sadness
I need real joy, when you smilin' through the madness
Hope you feel joy, hope you feel a bit of this magic

[Chorus: Curtis Roach]
Hope it's joy, hope you feelin' the joy, hope you feelin' rejoiced, that never feelin' destroyed
Hope you feelin' the joy, hope you feelin' the joy, hope you feelin' rejoiced, that never feelin' destroyed, joy

[Outro: Curtis Roach and Detroit Youth Choir]
Yeah, yeah, got a feelin' that them better days comin'
Got a feelin' that them better days comin', got a feelin' that them better days comin'
Feel joy, I hope you feel joy, I hope you feel joy, Ihope you feel joy Joy
