The sad thing about joy Is it won't force itself on you You have to want it You have to own it And If you really want a second chance Away from the bitterness of life Then embrace the joy inside Pain lives in your space But You can run away And seek abode with Joy Across the border town Sorrow calls your name But you don't have to wait Until it sells you shame Joy does not cost a thing Oh Joy You have to want it Oh Joy You have to own it The bad thing about the good things of life Is you have to call them your way You have to show them your place And If you really want a second chance away From the bitterness of life Then embrace the good of life Hate lives in your space (Hate lives in your space) But You can run away (But You can run away, yeah) And seek shelter with Love It's not so far away Hatred calls your name (Hatred calls your name) But you don't have to wait (But you don't have to wait, don't wait!) Until it leaves you lonely Love does not cost a thing Oh Love You have to want it Oh Love You have to own it Oh, Oh Joy! You have to want it
