I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head
I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head
Felt like someone in my family was dead
And I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
I called out all around me, "Have mercy on me, please"
And over by the window, the voice came low and hollow
Over by the window, a voice came low and hollow
And spoke into my pain, into my yearning sorrow
Spoke into my pain
"Who was it?" I cried, "What wild ghost has come in agitation?"
"Who is it?" I cried, "What wild ghost has come in agitation?
It's half past midnight! Oh, why you disturb me so late?"
Then I saw a movement around my narrow bed
I saw a movement around my narrow bed
A ghost in giant sneakers, laughing, stars around his head
Who sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy
Who sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy
Said, "We've all had too much sorrow
Now is the time for joy"
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah (for joy)
Ah-ah-ah
Oh, for joy, for joy, for joy, for joy, for joy, for joy
Ah-ah-ah
Oh, for joy, for joy, for joy
Ah-ah
Jumping for joy
Ah-ah
All across the world, they shout out their angry words
All across the world, they shout out their angry words
About the end of love, yet the stars stand above the earth
Bright, triumphant metaphors of love
Bright, triumphant metaphors of love
That blind us all who care to stand and look beyond
That dare to stand and look beyond above
And I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
I called all around me, "Have mercy on me, please"
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
For joy
Oh, for joy, for joy, for joy, for joy, for joy, for joy
I'm jumping out for joy
I'm jumping, I'm jumping, I'm jumping
I'm jumping for joy (for joy)
I'm jumping, jumping, jumping
Jumping for joy
Thank you very much
