I've been around and I'm just wishing on a star   I've travelled a 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 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 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 rise 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 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 joy oh      And now when I know myself   I see it all so clear there's nothing more to fear 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 - the rivers of joy   In the rivers of joy joy   In the rivers of joy joy - hey   In the rivers of joy joy      In the rivers of joy halleluja   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
