Kathy Mar - Joy lyrics

Chorus: Joy is in the ears that hear Let its song succeed Laughter is the bane of fear And all the hope we need 1.Let all who are most serious And fearful on this day Take lessons from our Giant friends Or children at their play For ever in the midst of woe It helps if we recall That laughter is a medicine More potent than them all Chorus 2.When all our banners dragged the dust And all our hands were chained In haunted caverns of the earth Our laughter yet remained And ever as we lost our dreams The joy would bid them nigh Until at last we left the dark And laughed beneath the sky Chorus 3.Though ever in this darkling world Our enemies grow strong It helps us to remember That their reign cannot be long And though it seems forever As we hold them still at bay It helps to know that laughter Is forever and a day Words and music:Kathy Mar Copyright 1982 Kathy Mar
