Deep inside the heart of this troubled man There's an itty bitty boy tugging hard at your hand Born bitter as a lemon but you must understand That you've been bringing me Joy And I'll only lie when you don't want the truth I'm only frightened 'cause you finally gave me something to lose And it's as loud as a thunderclap and you hear it too But you've been bringing me Joy Deep inside the heart of this crazy mess I'm only calm when I get lost within your wilderness Born crooked as a creek bed and come to confess That you've been bringing me Joy And when I'm alive, I'm living for you Another bluebird dying, but for singin' the blues And it's a heartfelt silly sort of bumblin' tune About how you're bringing me Joy
