Life can go astray
And leave you in disarray
But it gets better day by day
You’ll find strength that will last
As you continue healing from your past
But healing don't come fast
Lots of joy on this new road
Come and lay down your heavy load
For its time to let your fear go, and become more bold
Life can be heavy
But you have to keep your mind steady
Life can change fast, so stay ready
A joyous soul leads to a joyous mind
A joyous mind leads to a joyous path
A joyous path leads to a joyous life
