Across the open land mass With no sun up in the sky I threw down my skins and opened up the door The sun came streaming in and it shone out through your eyes As you laughed and threw Van Gogh's ear on the floor Crying Hey, Spirit of Joy! Woah you make us fools be and we're wise Hey, Spirit of Joy! It feels so good you came into my life Put your mind just where your mouth is and I'll tell the truth today I say you're the one that I've been waiting for You've not been round this way already so now my time has come And now I'll see just what I'm looking for Hey, Spirit of Joy! It feels so good you came into my life Hey, Spirit of Joy! I know our love will launch us to our goal Hey, Spirit of Joy! I feel the daylight breaking through again Hey, Spirit of Joy! Hey, Spirit of Joy!
