Joy In The Journey

It's been 30 years since I first saw the earth

Longing, seeking, searching for worth

Endlessly wondering

Is it about time

No obvious choices to make

No golden paved road I should take

But, my heart sings a melody

And it's about time

Happiness isn't a place on the globe

Like hours and minutes, it comes and then goes

If joy's in the journey, I'm taking it slow

Going the distance, this heart's bound to show

Subtle emotion and it's about time

Internally frantic while chasing my dreams

But it feels like a bone on the end of a string

And I'm suddenly wondering

Is it about time

Happiness isn't a place on the globe

Like hours and minutes, it comes and then goes

If joy's in the journey, I'm taking it slow

Going the distance, this heart's bound to show

Subtle emotion and it's about time

Does life exceed our goals and our dreams?

Is silver and gold the way succeed?

Or is fulfilment found in unquantified measures

Does laughter and family and friends make it better to live

Cause life's made of moments

The good and the bad

Both fade away, but both we will have

I've seen happiness scattered like grapes on a vine

Intrinsically woven with thorns and bee hives

But the joy's in the journey

Oh the joy's in the journey

So it's about time
