[Verse 1]
Everybody’s sad, everybody’s broken
Everybody’s mad, everybody’s lonely
Everybody’s lookin’ for the meaning of all of this
Everybody’s goin’ through somethin’
Ain’t nobody getting away unscolded
Everybody’s lookin’ for the meaning of all of this

[Chorus]
No matter what, no matter what
I'ma choose joy, boy
Joy, boy, yuh
J-O-Y, B-O-Y, livin’ my life
J-O-Y, B-O-Y, livin’ my life
I'ma choose joy, boy
Joy, boy

[Verse 2]
Everybody’s sad
Everybody’s thinkin’ that the world is ending
Ain’t nobody seein’ what could be, I just got to believe it
The best is yet to come, the best is yet to come

[Chorus]
But no matter what, no matter what
I'ma choose joy, boy
Joy, boy, yuh
J-O-Y, B-O-Y, livin’ my life
J-O-Y, B-O-Y, livin’ my life
I'ma choose joy, boy
Joy, boy
J-O-Y, B-O-Y, livin’ my life
J-O-Y, B-O-Y, livin’ my life
I'ma choose joy, boy
Joy, boy
