Witness to Joy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes it's hard to go home when there's a storm in your heart The bitter cold wreckage has torn you apart You've been treated unkindly, misunderstood You got paralyzed emotions, your soul's turned to wood But this time is different There's a reason that you're here Sure as you're living it's sure to come clear You're the proud owner of a mirror and a pair of eyes And you can seek salvation even through this disguise [Chorus] Be a witness to joy Get a clear view of the mountain top There's happiness on the horizon Take a good look around and you'll see You can be a witness to joy (Oh) [Verse 2] We can all stand in the starlight, we can laugh at the moon We can rest assured the sun will rise and set on us too But you cast your own shadow thin as a knife Your original creation stays with you for life So when you look up to heaven When you're lookin' at the evening news Or you look for inspiration at the bottom of a bottle Choose a new direction, that's yours and yours alone Your vision is calling you closer to home [Chorus] Well, you could be a witness to joy Get a clear view of the mountain top There's happiness on the horizon Take a good look around and you'll see [Bridge] You'll see laughing children How can you help but feel so much hope Oh, how can you help but feel so much joy Oh, when you look around how can you help but feel joy So much joy [Verse 3] So if you're standing in darkness or just standing in line Or you stand in front of Goliath standing up for what is right Take time for celebration, sing out, sing out, it's a jubilee With every note you sing you're one step closer to being free [Chorus] Well, you could be a witness to joy Get a clear view of the mountain top There's happiness on the horizon Take a good look around and you'll see You can be a witness to joy Yes you can Happiness on the horizon Take a good look around and you'll see You can be a witness to joy
