Defend Your Joy Songtext
von The Echoing Green

In your eyes, a rising tide
Of sadness, filling your heart with lies
You step outside the place you hide
Inside all of the tears you cry
Does laughter seem to slip away
From every hesitant step you take?
Before your heart gets snapped
Like a broken toy...

Defend your joy
(Every girl and boy)
Defend your joy
(Every girl and boy)

Defend your joy
(Every girl and boy)
Defend your joy
(Every girl and boy)


In your eyes, a rising tide
Of sadness, filling your heart with lies
You step outside the place you hide
Inside all of the tears you cry
Does malice seem to take away
The joy from Him that should be your strength?
His amazing grace no one can destroy

Defend your joy
(Every girl and boy)
Defend your joy
(Every girl and boy)

Defend your joy
(Every girl and boy)
Defend your joy
(Every girl and boy)

Break it down...
(Every girl and boy)

Yeah!

Defend your joy

Does laughter seem to slip away
From every hesitant step you take?
(Every girl and boy)
(Defend your joy)


Does malice seem to take away
The joy from Him that should be your strength?
(Every girl and boy)
(Defend your joy)

Does laughter seem to slip away
From every hesitant step you take?
(Every girl and boy)
(Defend your joy)

Does malice seem to take away
The strength from Him that should be your joy?
(Every girl and boy)
(Defend your joy)

Defend your joy
