Poor Old Lu - Joy I Had Was Joy I Sold lyrics

There isn't much to say about this song. It seems that every album we put out had some sort of "funk" track on it, and this is probably *that* track for '8th Wonder'. I never have liked this song much, but the bridge is nice.... and it seems like it should be in some other song. I guess that's the point.

Joy is a funny thing. It cannot be manufactured. It cannot be purchased. It cannot be traded. It is independent of happiness or elation. Joy comes from the Lord, plain and simple. We should cherish it.

boom, I fell

on the ground

was it something sad

that made me mad

feelings too close to let me free

and what i have is what i hold

and joy I had was joy I sold, you see

crown the pain

and face the day

what i thought would last

is fading fast
