Lyrics

This joy that I have
The world didn't give it to me (oh, oh, oh)
This joy that I have
The world didn't give it to me (don't you know that)
This joy that I have
The world didn't give it to me
Ooh I said, the world didn't give it
The world can't take it away
All this strength that I have, this strength that I have
This strength that I have (oh yeah, now)
The world didn't give it to me (world didn't give it to me)
This strength that I have (oh yeah)
The world didn't give it to me (world didn't give it to me)
This strength that I have (oh yeah)
The world didn't give it to me
Ooh I said, the world didn't give it
The world can't take it away
All this love, this love that I have
This love that I have (oh yeah, now)
The world didn't give it to me (the world didn't give it to me)
This love that I have (oh yeah)
The world didn't give it to me (don't you know that)
This love that I have (yeah-yeah)
The world didn't give it to me
Singing, the world didn't give it
The world can't take it away
All this pride that I have, this pride that I have
This pride that I have (oh yeah, now)
The world didn't give it to me (world didn't give it to me)
This pride that I have
I said the world didn't give it to me (don't you know that)
This pride that I have (yeah-yeah)
The world didn't give it to me
Oh I said, the world didn't give it
The world can't take it away
All this peace that I have (this peace that I have)
The world didn't give it to me (the world didn't give me my peace)
This peace that I have (oh yeah, now)
The world didn't give it to me (won't you sing about peace)
This peace that I have (oh yeah, now)
The world didn't give it to me
Mm-hm, I said, the world didn't give it
The world can't take it away
All this joy that I have, this joy that I have
This joy that I have (oh yeah, now yeah)
The world didn't give it to me (said the world didn't give it to me)
This joy that I have
I said the world didn't give it to me (don't you know that)
This joy that I have
The world didn't give it to me
Oh I said, he world didn't give it
The world can't take it away
The world didn't give it, the world can't take it away
World didn't give it, the world can't take it away
The world didn't give it and the world can't take it away
The world didn't give it, the world can't take it away
The world didn't give it and the world can't take it away
The world didn't give it, the world can't take it away
