Lyrics from “Over My Head” (traditional spiritual): Over my head, I hear music in the air. There must be a Joy somewhere!
Over my head, I hear singing everywhere. There must be a Joy somewhere!
Over my head, I hear music in the air. Over my head, I hear singing everywhere.
There must be a Joy! There must be a Joy! There must be a Joy somewhere!
