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
