Don't Take Your Joy

I was wrong, I'll be the first to admit it
I wasn't strong, at times I wanted to quit
I let You down and I know that it ain't right
But living without You, I can't see
That life just can't be for me
Walking around trying to play the part
Down inside, no one to see my broken heart
Feeling like I'm bound, yes I am
And I really wanna be free
What I'm really trying to say
Is that You can't take your joy from me
Don't take your joy from me
Without it where would I be
Like a ship tossed and driven
No reason for living
Don't take it away, don't take it away
Your joy is my strength, I know
Without it, I don't even know, where would I go?
Now I understand what you really mean to me
They can say what they wanna say
But I'm gonna keep on loving you this way
Oh, they say you never miss your water 'til your well runs dry
Well, I'm sure 'nough missing you
I ain't gon' tell you no more lies
I wanna come home, won't you please let me in?
I'm really trying to make you see
I wanna start again
Don't take your joy from me
Without it where would I be
Like a ship tossed and driven
No reason for living
Don't take it away, don't take it away
Without you:
No joy, love, no life
No reason to live
And I give all that I am
So do what you want to
What I'm really trying to say is
Don't take you're joy away
Don't take your joy from me
Without it where would I be
Like a ship tossed and driven
No reason for living
Don't take it away, don't take it away
