[Verse 1]
In the morning sunlight dancing
On the dew drops on the grass
In the laughter of a child
And the moments as they pass
There's a treasure to discover
If your eyes know how to see
Joy is hiding in the simple things
That surround you and me

[Chorus]
A person who knows joy is truly blessed
Happiness lives within their chest
In every breath and every smile
They find a reason to stay a while
A heart that knows joy will always find
Peace and wonder intertwined
This is the secret of the free
Joy is the key to being happy

[Verse 2]
In the warmth of a friend's greeting
In the taste of morning tea
In the colors of the sunset
And the whisper of the sea
Some may search for grand adventures
Chase the distant mountain high
But the soul that knows true joy
Finds heaven in the sky nearby

[Chorus]
A person who knows joy is truly blessed
Happiness lives within their chest
In every breath and every smile
They find a reason to stay a while
A heart that knows joy will always find
Peace and wonder intertwined
This is the secret of the free
Joy is the key to being happy

[Bridge]
Joy is not about perfection
It's not found in having more
It's the art of celebration
Of the life that's at your door
When you learn to see the beauty
In the ordinary day
Joy becomes your faithful companion
Never leading you astray

[Final Chorus]
A person who knows joy is rich indeed
They have everything they'll ever need
In every moment, every prayer
They find that happiness is there
A heart that knows joy will always shine
Like a beacon through all time
This is the wisdom we can see
Joy is the key to being free
Joy is the key to being happy
