Joy Across The Land

You can tell the world about this you can tell the nations about that

Tell it to the sea and the sky

Tell it to the birds on the fly

Tell it to the breeze blowing by

That there is joy, joy, joy across the land

We saw a farmer working on his farm

We saw two lovers walking arm

From sea to sea and all across the land

We saw joy, joy, joy on every hand

You can tell the world about this you can tell the nations about that

Tell it to the sea and the sky

Tell it to the birds on the fly

Tell it to the breeze blowing by

That there is joy, joy, joy across the land

You know that hard times happen to us all

And though our backs are up against the wall

Still we’d like for you to understand

There is joy, joy, joy on every hand

You can tell the world about this you can tell the nations about that

Tell it to the waves on the shore

Tell it to the rich and the poor

Tell it to your neighbor next door

That there is joy, joy, joy across the land

So when you hear a newborn baby cry

Or when you watch the moon go sailing by

The time will come when you will understand

There is joy, joy, joy on every hand

You can tell the world about this you can tell the nations about that

Tell it to the sea and the sky

Tell it to the birds on the fly

Tell it to the breeze blowing by

Tell it to the rich and the poor

Tell it to your neighbor next door

Tell it every day more and more

That there is joy, joy, joy across the land
