Oh What a Joy
Yesterday was a war, yeah
Today we throw dung we arms
Yesterday lots of sorrows
Today we want joy
Ye, who are still cryin'
I beg you dry your weeping eyes
'Cause tomorrow we don't want no sorrow
Yesterday we were hungry
Today we belly full throw dung we arms
(Oh, war)
Yesterday we were naked
Today we have clothing
Ye, who are still hungry
I beg you have a little patien'
'Cause tomorrow there will be no sorrow
Oh, what a joy, when we have love in our hearts
Oh, what a joy, we should have love from the start
Try not to be ignorant or be a slave to your temper
Try not to be ignorant and be moderate in your behavior, yeah
Try not to be ignorant and be moderate in your behavior, yeah
Oh what a joy, when we have love in our hearts
Oh what a joy, we should have love from the start
Yesterday was a war, yeah
Today we throw dung we arms
Yesterday lots of sorrows
Today we want joy
Ye, who are still cryin'
I beg you dry your weeping eyes
'Cause tomorrow we don't want no sorrow
Oh what a joy, when we have love in our hearts
Oh what a joy, we should have love from the start
Oh what a joy, we should have love from the start
Oh what a joy, we should have love from the start
Oh what a joy, we should have love from the start
Today we throw dung we arms
Yesterday lots of sorrows
Today we want joy
Ye, who are still cryin'
I beg you dry your weeping eyes
'Cause tomorrow we don't want no sorrow
Yesterday we were hungry
