Joy Comes Back

Sean Staples

I wanna be ready, I wanna be ready, wanna be ready
When joy comes back to me
I been down-hearted, I been down-hearted, I been down-hearted
But I won't be down for long
Cause I wanna be ready, I wanna be ready, I wanna be ready
When joy comes back to me
I've been too-long crying, too-long crying, too-long crying
I won't cry anymore
Cause I wanna be ready, I wanna be ready, wanna be ready
When joy comes back to me
I felt tied to the ground, Lord, tied to the ground, Lord, tied to the ground, Lord
Getting lighter every day
Cause I wanna be ready, I wanna be ready, I wanna be ready
When joy comes back to me
Spirit gets low, spirit gets low sometimes, spirit gets low, Lord
But I'm gonna rise again
Cause I wanna be ready, I wanna be ready, I wanna be ready
When joy comes back again
Are you ready when joy comes back again
