Sing For Joy

from Yokefellow by Gran Bel Fisher

lyrics

The preacher said to me
lets teach them how to sing
He said how could I even try
I wasn’t there on the day he died
Oh jesus.

He said hear me nice and loud
Have you ever looked at a cloud
that stopped you in your tracks and left you wondering
The answers not in you or the thing that people do.

So do it quick and oh do it fast
cause you just don’t know which day is your last

He says
Sing for Joy
sing for Love
Sing for everybody
cause we’ve all been through enough

He says
Sing for Joy
sing for Love
Sing for everybody
cause we’ve all been through enough

The preacher said to me
lets teach them how to sing
he said how can this all be
and then the car missed the kid in the street
hallelujah
hallelujah

He said remember when you were a child
and you dreamed of running wild.
But when you’re running as fast as you can it leaves you breathless
Girls turn into worlds and boys fight for their toys.

and never stop to think
what’s happening to me?

So do it quick and oh do it fast
cause you just don’t know which day is your last

He says
Sing for Joy
sing for Love
Sing for everybody
cause we’ve all been through enough

He says
Sing for Joy
sing for Love
Sing for everybody
cause we’ve all been through enough

I got a mountain to climb
to get out of my head
I’ll be saving my self oh till I am dead
The preacher wants to sing
but it don’t mean a thing
If ain’t listening
So I sing lot’s of songs
and I try to right my wrongs
like I’m singing now.
Singing now.
