[Intro]
Joyful, through the dark
Joyful, in my heart

[Chorus]
Joyful, joyful, in my heart
Joyful, even though it's dark
Joyful, joyful, in my song
Only joy can make me strong

[Verse 1]
The night is cold, the road is long
News is heavy, fear fully wrong
The storm is near, but I will stand my ground
And in the darkness I will try to cope
With every step, I'll carry with all my hope
I look around, where can love be found?

[Chorus]
I'll be joyful, joyful, in my heart
Joyful, even though it's dark
Joyful, joyful, in my song
Only joy can make me strong

[Verse 2]
And only joy can help me find a way
When I feel lost, hope is what I need to stay
Persevere until another day
I wanna live, while I'vе got life to live
I wanna sing, evеn when it hurts, cause still
I wanna love, while I've got love to give
[Bridge]
And in deepest night I'll always choose to shine
For in a phase of fear, I'll take the fight
And be the light

[Chorus]
Joyful, joyful, in my heart
Joyful, even though it's dark
Joyful, joyful, in my song
Only joy can make me strong
