JOY

I hear it all around me; It’s a sound that can’t be stopped I hear it all around me; It’s a sound that can’t be stopped. It echoes through the valley, And from the highest mountaintop. What is that sound I’m hearing, Coming from each girl and boy? Why is the whole world cheering? Is that the sound of joy?

Joy, oh joy. I see the sunrise. I see the river flowing Joy, oh joy! I see the sunrise. I see the river flowing. I see the bright blue sky. I hear the music. I see the people dancing. I know the reason why. Joy, oh Joy!

I hear it all around me; It’s a sound that can’t be stopped I hear it all around me; It’s a sound that can’t be stopped. It echoes through the valley, And from the highest mountaintop. We celebrate the friendship Shared with ev’ry girl and boy. We sing and dance together. The world is filled with joy.

Joy, oh joy. Out in the country Or in the crowded city The people smile and sing. The high and mighty, The poor, but not forgotten; All hear the same bells ring. Joy, oh joy! Joy, oh joy, oh joy! India
