Have you heard the call of joy?

Behold her on the hill-
She beckons us closer,
She calls away from fear.

Her arms are spread open
Ready to embrace
Anyone who cares to come near

Have you heard the way she sings?

I could fall into her words
I could leap without looking
For her melodies give life

Her notes, they spread not envy
Her eyes alight with passion
Her voice washing away strife

This is Joy…

I beseech you to see her
Behold her laughter
Listen to her words

For she brings freedom
Hope ever enduring
And grace like that of birds
