JOY

When people lose the joy and happiness
from their everyday life’s
the safety net that they’ve build around them
can start to cut them like the edge of a knife

And you will want to get away from there 
But your feet feel like its cast in cement
And then you will lose sight of the future 
And all the meaning of what it represents

And all you can do is wonder around depress
Just being alone and wondering why 
Wondering what to do with your life now
Now that the joy inside of you has die

And even mother nature that you love so much
now you find no comfort there again 
you use to love the smell of Jasmine's flowers
Or just walking joyfully in the falling rain

you use to enjoy kicking the leaves in autumn 
and watching spring blooms from your window
and family get together Bar be ques in the summer 
or just being outside shoveling the winters snow

but now you can’t help from feeling alone
Living a life that’s completely empty 
With loneliness growing everyday inside of you
Like the roots of a big old oak tree

Marriage, love affairs, and relationships
they all can come apart at the seams
And the secured life that you thought you had
Was nothing but bad a dream

Joy from love only comes in your life 
When two persons are faithful and true 
And understanding, respect, and caring 
is what makes it sticks like crazy glue

Many homes are built on compromise 
Thinking in time love will walk through the door 
But if love is not in the corner stone
Then the foundation will just collapse to the floor

a fallen foundation can bring temptations
And cause the honest eyes to wonder and stray
and that will open the gates of misery for heartaches
And let wicked elements comes out to play

All it takes is one second to destroy 
What took you years to accomplish
And all your sacrifices that you've made 
now turns into a pile of rubbish

Joy is just a three letter word 
That I think is hardly ever use 
But it’s the main ingredient that's missing 
It’s why so many people lives today is so confuse

Everyone wishes for joy in their life 
But joy can be very elusive 
The day that I am with the girl I love
then all of my joy to her I will gladly give
