There Is Joy for All

Lyrics: [Verse 1] Sun comes up on the heartland, coffee’s in the cup We’ve been working this ground, yeah, we’re keeping it up But the men on the screens keep selling us fear Making a dollar off every tear They say lock the doors, say the wolves are at the gate While they empty our pockets and serve us up hate We don’t need the panic, we're cutting the string Let’s step out the shadows and hear the truth ring! [Chorus] Oh, there is joy for all, under the open sky No need to fear the shadows or buy into the lie We’re neighbors and family, whenever we call So gather around, there is joy for all! Yeah, ready the table, let the good times fall In the heart of this country, there is joy for all! [Verse 2] They tell us to be cautious depending on their skin, Or the color of the hair of the folks who're walking in. They train us to be triggered, build a cage to hold our mind, To keep us all distracted while they're robbing us blind! It’s a manufactured panic, just a heavy set of chains, Let's throw away the phantom that is living in our brains. We can share this harvest, we can share this bread, Let those fake scary stories remain under the bed! [Chorus] Oh, there is joy for all, under the open sky No need to fear the shadows or buy into the lie We’re neighbors and family, whenever we call So gather around, there is joy for all! Yeah, ready the table, let the good times fall In the heart of this country, there is joy for all! [Verse 3] Break the spell of the stories they designed! Don't let a made-up monster be the master of your mind! The only thing that's real is the sweat upon our brow And the peace we can find if we reach for it now We refuse to be controlled by the whispers of dread We’re choosing the light and our freedom instead! [Chorus] 'Cause there is joy for all, under the open sky No need to fear the shadows or buy into the lie We’re neighbors and family, whenever we call So gather around, there is joy for all! Yeah, ready the table, let the good times fall In the heart of this country, there is joy for all! [Verse 4] It don't matter the clothes on your back or your name! It don't matter your skin, 'cause our heartbeat's the same! We don't care how you're built or the road you've been through, Just as long as you treat folks how they'd want you to! So come as you are, hear the ring of the call, There's room by the fire, AND JOY FOR US ALL! [Final Chorus] Oh, there is joy for all, under the open sky! No need to fear the shadows or buy into the lie! We’re neighbors and family, whenever we call So gather around, there is joy for all! Yeah, ready the table, let the good times fall In the heart of this country, there is joy for all! [Outro] Joy for all, let the good times fall! We’re breaking the chains, and we’re standing tall. Yeah, so gather around, let the whole town call In the heart of this country... There is joy for all.
