Kick those crushing cares
- crash out from under Grab Joy right by the heels I think you've stunned her We'll fall giggling to the ground - goodbye deep and profound Drink down the wonder |

JOY
©1995 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI) O Joy, you wilding sprite - it's you we're after Just like a flash you're gone me chase you faster For the moment you stick around I'll fall right to the ground and roar with laughter O time, persistent pain - from you we're running I site you for entrapment - you're so cunning Never noticed you when I was young Now I'm grabbing hold of fun and leave you counting (Chorus) Kick those crushing cares - crash out from under Grab Joy right by the heels I think you've stunned her We'll fall giggling to the ground - goodbye deep and profound Drink down the wonder Facing down the big ones; hunger, homelessness, and health Preserving precious green in time - imbalance of world wealth Then I scramble signals to my brain - let worthless worries lurk Like thinking 'bout my thigh size - why's my cooking taste like dirt Kick those ... It's priority-juggling maze - balance family, work and friends Half-done projects left for days and the laundry never ends Where's the time to practice music - get the exercise I need And it kills me just to think of all the books I'll never read Kick those ... (Bridge) Laughing so hard I can hardly breath Holding my stomach and rolling around Screaming with laughter-pounding the ground I can hardly breath! Hey, you there with the scythe - is there no hiding? I believe Sir John of songs we go on shining And I pray with Joy he shines Tangerine skies in our minds and in our dreaming Hey, you there with the scythe - is there no hiding? I believe Sir John of songs we go on shining We'll be shining - dreaming on - drink down the wonder O Joy, you wilding sprite, it's you we're after But like a flash you're gone - me chase you faster So, if Joy shows up today - better get right down and play And grab that laughter |
