Lyrics:
Joy to the World - Ellis Family
Verse One [Eric]:
December twenty-two, not a leaf was on the tree
Snowflakes on the roof, billow from the chimney
David didn’t have a lot he just turned 23
When he walked the streets, he would hear the people sing
Chorus [everyone]:
Joy to the world (2x)
Verse 2 [Jillian]:
Such a simple message—a phrase, that holds some weight
David didn’t have any basis to say the same
He couldn’t afford to have a break from the day to day
So he spent his Christmas with a Krank at the facility
Chorus [everyone]:
Joy to the world (4x)
Verse 3 [Ethan]:
David heard the song at work he in his head like “here we go”
So he took the liberty to turn off the radio
Manager asked why
He didn’t have a reply
His eyes began to cry and David got sent home
Bridge [Evan]:
Walk (repeated)
(It’s not so baaaaad)
David took a walk outside
The snow as white as chalk outside
And even though it’s dark outside
You can’t ignore the Christmas lights
And as he dragged his feet through snow
He noticed something beautiful
That even in the winter cold
The grass was green under the snow
Final Chorus [everyone]:
JOY TO THE WORLD (8x)
