akua naru - joy lyrics

[intro]
i want friendship, uh
ooh, uh, joy

[verse 1: akua naru]
yo, uh, daughters of different worlds flowin’ past on the foreign soil
makin’ meaning of seasons unexpected as little girls
the heart is pure, the art of the [?] dress i wore
white linen [?] exchange vows to children born
an hour long phone call at six in the morn’
days when you need a pep talk just to get goin’
you in these arms, you safer than state farm
sage in the storm, we the saviors we pray for
whisper and avoid the late night talks, the day brought
a gl-ss of malbec get you lit, lord, you can’t walk
unashamed to talk sh-t, offer strange thoughts
joy in the place [?] when the flame caught
first to applaud when our report works for the lord
the one fl!cker in the dark became torch, that says it all
tender is the name, heart soft as autumn rain
reach for me when i’m distant, never too far away, come on

[chorus]
mama said there’d be joy in the mornin’ time
(uh, check it out, y’all, uh, i told my sister [?])
lord knows i want it, waited all night for it
(lord knows y’all, uh, okay, uh, yes)
mama said there’d be joy in the mornin’
(uh, i’m so grateful for your friendship)
lord knows i want it, waited all night for it
(lord knows, uh)

[verse 2: akua naru]
look, uh, my dear brother said “i love you for a long time
hold you close, you’d be the first to understand this heart of mine”
nurse the same pain, questions plagued the artist’s life
turn out the lights, applaud fades, uh, who am i?
cryin’ on your couch between tours under a [?] sky
lost [?] african sh0r-s and found a lullaby
my black b-tterfly, never one to [?]
even when i ugly cry, you remind what beauty’s like
it’s magic when you laugh, find heaven in that high pitch
peace for those weary eyes, joy in your kindness
[?], you so dramatic when you step out
till that face invisible, crown weighing your head down
heavy is the load carried, lone, but not alone
your sister, your guarded heart’s all broken and whole, let me
love you through listening, rue on this poem through the storm
just called to let you know, uh

[chorus]
mama said there’d be joy in the mornin’ time
(uh, look, uh, yo, in the mornin’, come on, uh)
lord knows i want it, waited all night for it
(uh, i said i want it, y’all, uh, waited all night, come on)
mama said there’d be joy in the mornin’
(uh, i’m grateful for your friendship)
lord knows i want it, waited all night for it
(oh yes, i, yeah, yeah, uh, look, it’s like)
mama said there’d be joy in the mornin’ time
(joy, come on, uh)
lord knows i want it, waited all night for it
(uh, alright, yeah, first in line for the joy y’all)
mama said there’d be joy in the mornin’
(in the morning, yes)
lord knows i want it, waited all night for it
mama said there’d be joy in the mornin’ time
lord knows i want it, waited all night for it
mama said there’d be joy in the mornin’
lord knows i want it, waited all night for it
mama said there’d be joy in the mornin’ time
lord knows i want it, waited all night for it
mama said there’d be joy in the mornin’
lord knows i want it, waited all night for it

[outro]
go get it, you’ve got to go get it (oh, go get it)
go get it, it’s time to claim your joy (oh)
go get it, you’ve got to go get it (get it, oh)
go get it
