I've been around and I'm just wishing on a star
I've travelled long ways, 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 - 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 long ways, 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

There are times when I just wanna lay down on the ground
And never realise again, no matter what's been found
But then I realise, I have to carry on
And I 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 - 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
But 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 tough
And 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 - All the happiness
In the Rivers of Joy, Hallelujah, Joy - Of the world

And now when I know myself
I see it all so clear - there's nothing more to fear

You can find Joy and Happiness
No matter what storm [bad word] 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, Hallelujah, Joy - I believe
In the Rivers of Joy, Hallelujah, Joy - I will find
In the Rivers of Joy, Hallelujah - All the happiness
In the Rivers of Joy, Hallelujah, Joy - Of the world
