Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tears of joy!
Baby, Im crying Im crying
My tears of joy!
Im so happy, baby
Now that Im free again!
Im so glad you left me
With you Ive been such a long time man
I follow the ways I choose
Since you finally decided to turn lose.
Im crying, Im crying
The tears of joy!
Honey, Im crying Im crying
My tears of joy!
Im so mixed up baby,
Its a . shame
Since you took your love away
And all the material things
We used to share.
Cant stop falling down form my eyes
The salty tears of love
You made a grown up cry
Like a little boy!
Honey sugar crying, Im crying
Our tears joy!
Freedom is such a bitter thing
Follow my problem...
I beg you baby, let it come to light
These tears start falling
Well make it alright!
I gotta do anything that I can
To bring you back here again!
When you walk through that door, these tears really be...
Baby Im crying, Im crying
Oh yeah our tears of joy!
Baby, Im crying, Im crying
Baby, Im crying, oh yeah
Baby, Im crying, Im crying
Cause Im begging you, baby
Let it come to light!
Begging you, begging you, begging you
Begging you, begging you, begging you
I said begging you, begging you, begging you
My tears of joy!
The song "Tears of Joy" by Mr Day is about the experience of feeling immense joy after being freed from a restrictive situation. The opening line "I'm crying, I'm crying, the tears of joy" sets the tone for the whole song, as the tears shed are a result of happiness rather than sorrow. The singer is grateful to be free again and can now do what he wants without being held back or controlled by another person. The second line of the chorus "Honey, I'm crying, I'm crying, my tears of joy" reinforces the idea that the subject of the song is feeling immense happiness and relief, and wants to share this with his lover.
The second verse of the song reflects the mixed emotions that come with the freedom. The singer admits that he's so mixed up and ashamed that he let material things and love hinder his happiness. He then describes how he can't help but cry a little when thinking about the past, like a little boy. In the third verse, he plea to his lover to come back to him because he'll do anything to bring happiness and love back into their life. He begs them to let go of the past and move forward, to come back home to shed "tears of joy".
Overall, "Tears of Joy" is a song about the power of freedom and its capacity to transform the way we feel about ourselves and our lives.
