Discover the story of the song > Joyful Girl – Soulive

The protagonist is doing things that bring them joy because they are a joyful person. They believe that the world doesn't owe them anything, but they believe in giving to others and the world. They do these things because they want to, and because it's the least they can do. The protagonist wonders if everything they do is instead of something they actually want to do more. They know that there's no grand plan or clear answer, but at least they know that they want to bring joy to themselves and to others.
