The Lyrics, Track and Gorgeous Poem Called Joy

Trey wrote an absolutely gorgeous new song called Joy. In my mind, half the song is about children (Trey’s children perhaps), and the other half about Trey’s late sister Kristy.

Joy is over there in her incredible clothes
She has silver silk shimmering down to her toes
I was doing the best that I can I suppose
But that little girl dancer
Eventually grows
She grows
You can’t imagine all the times that I tried
To uncover the source of the tears that you cried
“Lets throw it away and just go for a ride”
And you’d say “ok” but you’d keep it inside
And I tried

We want you to be happy
Don’t live inside the gloom
We want you to be happy
Come step outside your room
We want you to be happy
Cause this is your song too

I never thought I could have it so good
You were the song that my soul understood
That time is a river that flows through the woods
And it lead us to places we both understood
Would be gone
Before to long
Would be gone
Before to long
When we were young we thought life was a game
But then somebody leaves you and your never the same
All of the places and people belong to the puzzle
But one of the pieces is gone
And it’s you
It’s you
It’s you
Joy, its you
We want you to be happy
Don’t live inside the gloom
We want you to be happy
Come step outside your room
We want you to be happy
Cause this is your song too
Anytime we’ll weather this storm
Inside together you’ll see the change
When the sun shines through
We want you to be happy
Don’t live inside the gloom
We want you to be happy
Come step outside your room
We want you to ge happy
Cause this is your song too
This is your song too
