"Road To Joy (Bright-Side Mix)"

Waking up, waking up, waking up...
Waking up the road to joy

So as swollen skies
Look for anchors, look for tides
Sharp sounds swim around
Soaking into the brittle ground

Been so many days, been held inside this body
Been so many days and there's nothing to do
Been so many days, and you're throbbing at the darkness
Been so many days, I've been waiting for you

Back in the world
Waking up the road to joy

Love comes through the walls
Wants the earth wherever it falls
Life's form won't calm you down
Going in for another round

This is how it goes, I've been listening to the voices
This is how it goes, you were sure I was gone
This is how it goes in a state of meditation
This is how it goes, I've been waiting for you

Back in the world
Waking up the road to joy
Back in the world
Walking down the road to joy

The engine stops and silence pours
Fills the holes and cracks, don't fuse
Young and old, girl and boy
Dance along the road to joy
Picture sharpens in your head
Opens up when it's been read
All the things you strain to see
Come on, darling, come to me

Show your eyes, show your teeth
That's the way to build belief
Touch my hair, touch my knee
You can wake up every part of me

Get the blood to flow in every nook and cranny
Get the blood to flow from my head to my toes
Get the blood to flow, flowing all around me
Get the blood to flow with the life in my soul

Back in the world
Walking down the road to joy

Just when you think it can't get worse
The mind reveals the universe
Opens up a distant star
It gives you straight just who you are
I'm more a dog, you're more a cat
Then we're getting bored of that
Alive again, upon a snake
Then we jump into the lake
