Joyful, joyful
Joyful, joyful
Lord we adore Thee
God of Glory, Lord of Love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Clearly as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light
Fill us with the light
Oh fill us with the light of day

[Chorus]
Joyful, joyful
Lord we adore Thee
God of Glory, Lord of Love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Clearly as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin, sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Drive it away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us 
Fill us with the light of day
Light of day

Joyful, joyful
Lord we adore Thee
And in my life I could not afford Thee
'Cos as youngster I came to know
That you were the only way to go

So I had to grow and I come to an understanding
And I'm down with the King

Can't take my eyes off you
[CHORUS 1]
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off of you.
You'd be like heaven to touch. 
I wanna hold you so much. 
At long last love has arrived. 
And I thank God I'm alive. 
You're just too good to be true. 
Can't take my eyes off of you.

Pardon the way that I stare. 
There's nothing else to compare. 
The sight of you leaves me weak. 
There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel. 
Please let me know that it's real. 
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off of you.

[CHORUS 2]
I need you baby, if it's quite all right,
I love you baby, you warm a lonely night. 
I love you baby. 
Trust in me when I say It's OK: 
Oh pretty baby, don't let me down I pray. 
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay. 
And let me love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby....

Repeat Chorus 1

[To fade]

I need you baby, and if it's quite all right,
I love you baby, you warm a lonely night. 
I love you baby. 
Trust in me when I say: It's OK 
Oh pretty baby, don't let me down I pray. 
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay. 
And let me love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby....
I need you baby, and if it's quite all right,
I love you baby, you warm a lonely night. 
I love you baby. Trust in me when I say: It's OK 
Oh pretty baby, don't let me down I pray. 
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay. 
And let me love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby....
Everything, everything

[Lauryn singing - Chorus]

Everything Is Everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
(2x)

[Singing - Verse One]
I wrote these words for everyone who struggles in their youth
Who won't accept deception, in--instead of what is truth
It seems we lose the game
Before we even start to play
Who made these rules? (Who made these rules?)
We're so confused (We're so confused)
Easily led astray
Let me tell ya that...

[Chorus]
Everything Is Everything
Everything Is Everything
After winter, must come spring
Everything Is Everything

[Rapping - Verse Two]
I philosophy
Possibly speak tongues
Beat drum, Abyssinian, street Baptist
Rap this in fine linen, from the beginning
My practice extending across the atlas
I begat this
Flipping in the ghetto on a dirty mattress
You can't match this rapper slash actress
More powerful than two Cleopatras
Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti
MCs ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti
My rhymes is heavy like the mind of sister Betty (Betty Shabazz!)
L-Boogie spars with stars and constellations
Then came down for a little conversation
Adjacent to the king, fear no human being
Roll with cherubims to Nassau Coliseum
Now hear this mixture, where Hip Hop meets scripture
Develop a negative into a positive picture

[Chorus]
Now Everything Is Everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually

[Lauryn Singing - Verse Three]

Sometimes it seems
We'll touch that dream
But things come slow or not at all
And the ones on top, won't make it stop
So convinced that they might fall
Let's love ourselves and we can't fail
To make a better situation
Tomorrow, our seeds will grow
All we need is dedication
Let me tell ya that...

[Chorus]
Everything Is Everything
Everything Is Everything
After winter, must come spring
Everything Is Everything

Everything Is Everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
