Lyrics

When we go out into the world each day, we’re gonna go with joy.

When we go out into the world each day, we’re gonna go with joy.

We won’t let anybody steal that joy from us,

’Cause when we go out into the world each day,

We’re gonna go out blessed.

When we go out into the world each day, we’re gonna go with peace.

When we go out into the world each day, we’re gonna go with peace.

We won’t let anybody steal that peace from us,

’Cause when we go out into the world each day,

We’re gonna go out blessed.

When we go out into the world each day, we’re gonna go with hope.

When we go out into the world each day, we’re gonna go with hope.

We won’t let anybody steal that hope from us,

’Cause when we go out into the world each day,

We’re gonna go out blessed.

When we go out into the world each day, we’re gonna go with love.

When we go out into the world each day, we’re gonna go with love.

We won’t let anybody steal that love from us,

’Cause when we go out into the world each day,

We’re gonna go out blessed.
