[Verse 1] In the morning sunlight dancing On the dew drops on the grass In the laughter of a child And the moments as they pass There's a treasure to discover If your eyes know how to see Joy is hiding in the simple things That surround you and me [Chorus] A person who knows joy is truly blessed Happiness lives within their chest In every breath and every smile They find a reason to stay a while A heart that knows joy will always find Peace and wonder intertwined This is the secret of the free Joy is the key to being happy [Verse 2] In the warmth of a friend's greeting In the taste of morning tea In the colors of the sunset And the whisper of the sea Some may search for grand adventures Chase the distant mountain high But the soul that knows true joy Finds heaven in the sky nearby [Chorus] A person who knows joy is truly blessed Happiness lives within their chest In every breath and every smile They find a reason to stay a while A heart that knows joy will always find Peace and wonder intertwined This is the secret of the free Joy is the key to being happy [Bridge] Joy is not about perfection It's not found in having more It's the art of celebration Of the life that's at your door When you learn to see the beauty In the ordinary day Joy becomes your faithful companion Never leading you astray [Final Chorus] A person who knows joy is rich indeed They have everything they'll ever need In every moment, every prayer They find that happiness is there A heart that knows joy will always shine Like a beacon through all time This is the wisdom we can see Joy is the key to being free Joy is the key to being happy
