Finding Joy isn't that hard... it's found in simple, everyday things and the people we share them with.
lyrics
Joy... Life offers so much joy... So enjoy the joyful noise...
Joy... Life offers so much joy... So enjoy the joyful noise...
Sunset skies, walking a forest pathway,
summer days at the beach.
City lights, driving an open highway,
wilderness within reach.
Baby's laugh, old couples holding hands,
a stranger's smile on the street.
Mother's voice, Dad says he proud of you,
a loved one's hug when you're beat.
You may think joy is hard to find but it's there in everything,
You might have to look close to see it,
but if you do you will sing out with
Joy... Life offers so much joy... So enjoy the joyful noise...
Joy... Life offers so much joy... So enjoy the joyful noise...
Favourite songs, films you've been waiting months for,
well-read books open wide.
Morning runs, workout routines that work,
and your team wins it with pride.
Peaceful crowds, moments of solitude,
then you and I have some fun.
No more war, three meals on every table,
freedom for everyone.
You may think joy is hard to find but it's there in everything,
You might have to look close to see it, but if you do you will sing out with Joy...overlap into...
Joy... Life offers so much joy... So enjoy the joyful noise...(repeat)

An interesting project that is "Semi-instrumental" meaning that there's a whole Steely Dan / Santana electric guitar riffs with a bit of vocals thrown in the middle of each tune. Different but cool Dave Kilbank and Paul Bezooyen
