“…and Joy” (LIVING-ROOM VIDEO #27)

Posted on Jul 16, 2017

LIVING-ROOM VIDEO #27: “…and Joy”. Here’s a new “living-room” video of a song I just wrote, entitled “…and Joy”. Designed to inspire and encourage, it speaks especially to those who may feel lost and alone. It comes with love from me to you…  Feel free to share.

(Click on the link below the video to read the lyrics)

Caught in confusion;
obscured from the Sun.
Can’t see your stars stain the sky.
Then we narrow our scope
and we forfeit our hope;
thus allowing our vision to die.

When fear misleads us;
sucks us into its dark
numbed by the ice in our veins.
Then we think we’re alone.
Cannot find our way home.
Wrapped around us: our own self-made chains.

[Refrain]
So search for completeness.
Deepness
will flow from your soul, it seems.
Dissolving your bleakness,
Sweetness
will fill up your heart with dreams…
and joy.

Memories haunt us
like ghosts from the past
concealed from mind by the lies
that we tell to ourselves
stored away on the shelves
that we build with our pain, tears and sighs.

Playing the victim
with the cards we’ve been dealt
hides who we are out of sight.
Thinking we have no choice.
Can’t discover our voice.
Then what should be our day turns into night.

So search for completeness.
Deepness
will flow from your soul, it seems.
Dissolving your bleakness,
Sweetness
will fill up your heart with dreams…
and joy.

Haven’t you wondered
what you’re put on earth for?
It’s not to be slaves or clones!
There’s a reason you’re here
and you’re not meant to fear.
For the truth is that you’re not alone.

You’re being called on
an invisible phone.
Time now to answer that call.
There’s a voice on the line.
Your life will be redesigned.
Then you’ll find that it tears down your wall.

So search for completeness.
Deepness
will flow from your soul, it seems.
Dissolving your weakness,
Sweetness
will fill up your heart with streams…
of joy.
