As I roamed across this land
And felt the pulse of every heart of every man
I sang some songs to hear some soulsLooking back, it felt so very long ago
Folks overtaken by disease
All the people lost made me fall right onto my knee
All I could do is cry and shout
I knew I had to trust the faith that love would work it out
Joy will set us free
If you do believe
So don′t you ever doubt
That love will work it out
I got so down being alone
Watching modern day lynchings in the streets that I call home
I felt so helpless in the strife
But I knew I had to trust the faith that love will make it right, oh
Joy will set us free (yes it will, yes it will)
If you do believe (if you do believe, aye)
So don't you ever doubt (hey, yeah)
That love will work it out
(When the road) When the road gets rough
All you got to do is put your faith in love
(Put your faith in love)
Joy will set us free (joy will set us free)
If you do believe (don′t you know? Don't you know?)
So don't you ever doubt
That love will work it out (love will work it out, oh)
Joy will set us free
If you do believe
So don′t you ever doubt
That love will work it out
