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
