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 saaaay
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
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
To the rivers full of joy
I see it all so clear
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) joy (joy)
In the rivers of joy, (he-ej) joy (he-ej)
In the rivers of joy, joy
In the rivers of joy halleluja
Hallelujah joy – of the world
In the rivers of joy
