Joy

When someone very dear

Calls you with the words “everything’s all clear”

That’s what you want to hear

But you now it might be different in the new year

That’s why, that’s why

We hang the lights so high

Joy

Joy

You loved it as a kid

But now you need it more than you ever did

It’s because of the dark

You see the beauty in the spark

That’s why, that’s why

The carols make you cry

Joy

The tinsel on the tree, yes i see

The holly on the door, like before

The candles in the gloom, light the room

The sally army band, yes i understanding

So light the winter fire

And watch as the flames grow higher

We’ll gather up our fears

And face down all the coming years

And all that they destroy

And in their face in throw our joy

Joy

That’s why we hang the lights so high

And gaze at the glow of silver birches in the snow

Because of the dark we see the beauty in the spark

We must be alright if you cold make up christmas night
