An exercise in joy


Lyrics: Noa

Music: Noa and Ruslan Sirota

 

Here’s an exercise in joy, an exercise in Joy, an exercise in Joy…

Open up your arms and say, JOY

Open up your arms today, JOY,

Open up your arms and be, JOY,

Open up your arms , it’s free! JOY!

 

Open up your eyes and see, JOY!

Open up your eyes with me, JOY!

Open up your eyes and feel, JOY!

Open up your eyes it’s real! JOY!

 

I don’t know what will happen

But I got my hands and I’m clappin’

And I got my feet and I’m tapping..

And I got my arms and I’m wrapping them around you!

 

Here’s an exercise in joy, an exercise in Joy, an exercise in Joy…

 

You're sailing on a river in the darkest black of night

Not knowing where the current or the moon will take you, 

When suddenly you realize you're headed for the sea, 

Where crashing, crazy waves, threaten to unmake you..

You breathe as you've been taught, 

stack your sorrows in a pile,

When suddenly, unwittingly, your lips begin to smile,

For deep inside you know,

The black and white

The plot the ploy, 

The foe, the friend,

From birth to end,

Are all, 

an exercise in joy...

 

Here’s an exercise in joy, an exercise in Joy, an exercise in Joy…!
