Joy Like a River

#UpliftingMedia #HealDivisions #NurtureEmpathy #musicvideo Joy Like a River [verse] Morning light spills through my window pane Golden rays like liquid sugar in my veins Coffee steam swirls in a lazy dance Every breath’s a brand new chance Neighbor’s kid laughs on a tire swing Wind chimes sing the sweetest thing [chorus] This joy’s a river, rushing wild and free Jump right in, let it carry you with me Living like the sun—bright and unafraid Throw your love like seeds in the wind, watch ‘em grow in the shade From me to you, from me to you [verse] Old man sitting on the bus stop bench Hand him daisies in a rainbow bunch His eyes crinkle like crumpled maps As he tells me ‘bout his baseball caps Sidewalk chalk colors bloom at our feet Strangers humming the same heartbeat [chorus] This joy’s a river, rushing wild and free Jump right in, let it carry you with me Living like the sun—bright and unafraid Throw your love like seeds in the wind, watch ‘em grow in the shade From me to you, from me to you [bridge] See how fireflies teach the stars to glow? How dandelions trust the breeze to sow? Tie your hope to a kite string, let it soar Paint your kindness on every open door The world’s a potluck—bring your best dish A spoonful of love is the secret wish [chorus] This joy’s a river, rushing wild and free Jump right in, let it carry you with me Living like the sun—bright and unafraid Throw your love like seeds in the wind, watch ‘em grow in the shade From me to you, from me to you [outro] Pass it on through bakery smells and subway trains Through dog-eared books and summer rains La-la-la, the melody lingers Pass it on with calloused fingers Pass it on, pass it on...
