I've been around and I'm just wishing on a star

I've travelled a long ways but I've never been this far

I've seen the world with my eyes never did I know

But I'm gonna find a way no matter what they say In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - I believe

In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - I will find

In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - all the happiness

In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - of the world I've been around and I'm just wishing on a star

I've travelled long ways but I've never been this far

I've seen the world with my eyes never did I know

But I'm gonna find a way no matter what they say There are times when I just wanna lay down on the ground

And never rise again no matter what's been found

But then I realise I have to carry on

And I try to move along to the rivers full of joy In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - I believe

In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - I will find

In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - all the happiness

In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - of the world So many people pass me by without a sign

I try to catch them but I don't know if it's right

As far as I can see I still got much to learn

I have to find a way no matter what they say It's time to wake up now 'cause much is still undone

I made up my mind and nothing gets me down

And I won't stop this time until I'm really through

I have to move along to the rivers full of joy In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - I believe

In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - I will find

In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - all the happiness

In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - of the world In the rivers of joy

Rivers of joy oh And now when I know myself

I see it all so clear there's nothing more to fear yeah You can find joy and happiness

No matter what storm you come across

So hear me when I say you're here to stay

Hold on tight and I'll be right

You can find joy and happiness

No matter what storm just happiness

You just take a look deep down in the rivers of joy In the rivers of joy joy - the rivers of joy

In the rivers of joy joy

In the rivers of joy joy - hey

In the rivers of joy joy In the rivers of joy halleluja

In the rivers of joy

In the rivers of joy hallelujah joy - all the happiness

Hallelujah joy - of the world

In the rivers of joy
