I've been around and I'm just wishing on a star
I've travelled a long way, 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 a long way, but I've never been this far
I've seen the world with my eyes, never did I know
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 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, rivers of joy, oh (to the rivers full of joy, oh)
And now when I know myself
I see it all so clear
There's nothing more to fear, yeah, 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) rivers of joy
(In the rivers of joy, joy)
(In the rivers of joy, yeh-eh-yeh, joy)
(In the rivers of joy, joy)
In the rivers of joy, hallelujah
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)
