Joy - Tracey Thorn

When someone very dear

Calls you with the words

Everything’s all clear

That’s what you want to hear

But you know it might be

Different a new year

That’s why, that’s why

We hang the lights so high

Joy, joy, joy, joy

You loved it as a kid

And now you need it

More than you ever did

It’s because of the dark

We see the beauty in the spark

That’s why, that’s why

The carols make you cry

Joy, joy, joy, joy

Joy, joy, joy, joy

Dance around the tree, yes I see

The holy on the globe, life beautiful

The candles and the gloom, light the room

The story of the globe, yes, I am the stand

So light the winds of fire

And watch as the flames grow higher

We’ll gather up our feels

And face down all the coming years

All that they’ve destroyed

And in their face we throw our

Joy, joy, joy, joy

Joy, joy, joy, joy

It’s why we hang up so high

And gaze at the globe

Silver birches in the snow

Because of the dark

We see the beauty in the spark

We must be alright

If we could make up Christmas night
