Thought I was falling into a deep depression Thinking all the mystery was all gone Like I was falling into the deep of a grand canyon From the side of a mountain I was hanging on But now I'm coming up for air I see my angel on the sand She's running out to meet me In the waves of the of the Rio Grande And it's joy, honey, pure joy uh huh Pure joy just to see you again
Thought my heart was in a rut of recession All the colors I had seen had faded into the black Like I was falling fast to the bottom of the ocean And just my luck my hands were all chained up behind my back But now I'm coming up for air I see my angel on the sand She's running out to meet me To save me again And it's joy, honey, pure joy uh huh Pure joy just to see you again
And it's joy, honey, pure joy To see the sun coming down through the mist Yeah it's joy, honey, pure joy To feel the medicine of oxygen fill up my lungs again And it's joy, honey, pure joy To feel the strength of your kiss against my lips Yeah it's joy, honey pure joy Ain't no other way to say what this feeling is Pure joy Pure joy Pure joy
