Oh girl we are the same
We are young and lost and so afraid
There's no cure for the pain
No shelter from the rain
All our prayers seem to fail

In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart

Oh girl we are the same
We are strong and blessed and so brave
With souls to be saved
And faith regained
All our tears wiped away

In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart

In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart

And my home's in your arms
And it is breaking my heart
My home's in your arms
And it is breaking my heart

    General Comment:I understand the irritation about the proposal stuff, but really, if my fiancée had sung this to me when he proposed, it would've been amazing. Fan-girls are rather obnoxious with 'he should propose to me', but is it that big of a deal?

    General Comment:this song reminds me so much of year 10. I hadn't heard it in like 2 years until the other day when I was at a friends house and he played and I was high as a kite and it was seriously AMAZING. listen to this song when you're stoned, seriously. This song is awesome.

    General Comment:Alright. Well, I know that HIM claim not to be a Satanic band, yadda yadda... I have some theories about that which probably don't need to be brought up here.
    Anyway, having said that, this song seems to be not about some random lover singing to some chick, but about SATAN singing, in the form of a lover, to someone who has lost her faith in God. She lives a life of corruption and sin, or whatever, and thus the Devil's home is in her arms.

    General Comment:OK.. This is comment number 2 (my totall) =]
    Well this song In Joy and Sorrow is beautiful. Just like all of HIM's songs.
    But this song means that even through the good and bad the thick and thin our love will endure.
    In joy and sorrow we will always love one another an dnothing can rip us apart.
    "My home is in your arms"
    By the way, isn't "hope" supposed to be "home" or am I wrong. Well the song still means the same thing no matter what the correct word is...

    Also the song In Joy and Sorrow is a perfect definition for the album itself. Which is, Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights.

    General Comment:the verses really go:

    oh girl, we are the same
    we are young and lost and so afraid
    there's no cure for the pain
    no shelter from the rain
    All our prayers seem to fail

    In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
    in a world so hollow
    it's breaking my heart

    same beginning line for the second verse.

    the person who wrote the lyrics to this site doesnt know anything.
    take this from a REAL H.I.M fan
