This is where the Joy is

This is where the Joy is

Ah, I see it now 
Yes, I feel it now 
This is where the Joy is
Here in this present moment 

I can't change my past 
I can't leap into the future 
But I can take this Gift of Now
And enjoy it's unfolding beauty 

And if I string them all together 
Like the twinkly lights on a Christmas tree 
I'll illuminate the memories 
Create a Life of Magic and Mystery 

To experience all these Blessings 
These miracles of Love and Light and Hope 
They inspire Faith in every heart
They inspire Joy in every Soul 

Ah, I know it now 
Yes, I am connected to it All 
This Universe that God created
Is beyond the mind... Into infinity 

We can't change our past 
We can only imagine the future 
But here, here my friends is where the Joy is 
We can magnify it through our choices

And if we string them all together 
Like the twinkly lights on a Christmas tree 
We'll illuminate the memories 
Create a Life of Magic and Mystery

To experience all these Blessings 
These miracles of Love and Light and Hope 
They inspire Faith in every heart
They inspire Joy in every Soul 

Ah, we know it now 
Yes, we are connected to it All 
This Universe that God created 
Is beyond our minds... Until forevermore
