lyrics

Welcome, I won't keep you long,
Drink a glass and sing a song;
What comes with a hug and kiss,
Fills your heart and sounds like this:
Joy joy joy joy joy?
Joy joy joy joy,
Joy.

Welcome to the house of love,
Glory in the sun above;
Hear a whisper of delight
Come to find you in the night:
Joy joy joy joy joy,
Joy joy joy joy,
Joy.

This life's a rich and muddled mess
We squander, cherish, curse and bless
Though it passes all the same,
Echoing my mother's name:
Joy joy joy joy joy,
Joy joy joy joy,
Joy.

Leave your cares upon the road
A heavy heart's a heavy load
Let your lonesome sorrow be
Drop your burden, sing with me
Joy joy joy joy joy,
Joy joy joy joy,
Joy.

(I prefer this rewrite of last verse):
Where the way is overgrown
When you're weary to the bone
Lift your eyes up to the skies
From your heart you'll feel it rise:
Joy joy joy joy joy,
Joy joy joy joy,
Joy.
