Joy Is A Bird


[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"58157","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"240","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"320"}}]]

Joy is a bird.

That flies in and out my window. 

 

When it flies in my window.

It sings songs of happiness. 

Skies are blue; world at peace.

And all things bright; when it's here. 

 

When it flies out my window.

It leaves behind songs sadness. 

Skies are grey; world at war. 

And all things dark; when it's gone. 

 

Want to capture this bird forever. 

But it's best to set it free.

Because joy is a bird. 

That was meant to come and go. 

 

But still I know; when I'm down.

It will fly in to rescue me.
