rejoice reprise
Sonnie Badu Lyrics

The beginning of the song suggests a person who wants to try again. It might be the same situation that they failed at before, or it could be a new one. However, despite the possibility of failing again, the person chooses to rejoice in the Lord always. Regardless of the situation, they will still rejoice in the Lord because they have unwavering faith in him. The song then changes its tune to Jamaica and explores that culture's way of rejoicing. The repetition of "Hey hey hey" and "Rejoice rejoice" emphasizes this idea of rejoicing even in tough times.

The song implies that people can always find a reason to rejoice no matter what is happening in their lives. It could be that they failed at something, but they have a second chance to try again. Alternatively, it could be that their environment and cultural background make them happy, so they choose to rejoice in the Lord. The repetition of "Rejoice rejoice" drives the message home that no matter the situation, rejoicing is always an option.
