Lyrics

Song of Joy

Traveling on this weary journey, carrying out my turn
Where there is sorrow, pain, and suffering, I’m hoping I can learn

A song of joy that will last till the dawn
A song that you’ll sing with me when I’m here
And carry on when I’m gone

Timid and small, my words don’t carry, muted by fear and doubt
But when I join my voice with others, I’m able to sing out

A song of joy that will last till the dawn
A song that you’ll sing with me when I’m here
And carry on when I’m gone

Muscle and bone are temporary, I won’t be here for long
But in the moment I’ve been given, I can still sing a song

A song of joy that will last till the dawn
A song that you’ll sing with me when I’m here
And carry on when I’m gone

I’m growing old, I’m just one person; how many can I reach
So if you are my true companion, I hope you’ll help me teach

A song of joy that will last till the dawn
A song that you’ll sing with me when I’m here
And carry on when I’m gone

A song of joy that will last till the dawn
A song that you’ll sing with me when I’m here
And carry on when I’m gone
And carry on when I’m gone
