Lyrics

Joy! Joy! Joy!

I would like to throw a field
Yes, I would like to be a man
I would serve the Kingdom's will
Yes, I would enter to the end

Blessed is the man who waits
And blessed is the man who starts

I believe in (page)
Believe in (page)
Believe in (page)
Believe in (page)

I read every page
Read every page
Read every page
Read every page

Hey, (name?)
Yes, Sufjan?
So, what do you believe in?
Oh, a lot of things
Oh yeah, like what?
Well, peace and justice for all

In the middle when you came
Will the animals invite?
Every syllable the same
Every letter every line

I believe in peace
Believe in peace
Believe in peace
Believe in peace

I believe in peace
Believe in peace
Believe in peace
Believe in peace

I believe in joy
Believe in joy
Believe in joy
Believe in joy (x A Lot)

(After the first two repetitions)
I, I, I, am, am, am, joy, joy, joy, and, and, and
I, I, I, am, am, am, joy, joy, joy

I read every page
Read every page
Read every page
