Road to Joy (Bright-Side Mix) - Peter Gabriel

Lyrics by：Peter Gabriel

Composed by：Peter Gabriel

Produced by：Peter Gabriel/Brian Eno

Waking up waking up waking up

Waking up the road to joy

So as swollen skies

Look for anchors look for tides

Sharp sounds swim around

Soaking into the brittle ground

Been so many days been held inside this body

Been so many days and there's nothing to do

Been so many days and you're throbbing at the darkness

Been so many days I've been waiting for you

Back in the world

Waking up the road to joy

Love calls through the walls

Wants the earth wherever it falls

Life's form won't calm you down

Going in for another round

This is how it goes I've been listening to the voices

This is how it goes you were sure I was gone

This is how it goes in a state of meditation

This is how it goes I've been waiting for you

Back in the world

Waking up the road to joy

Back in the world

Walking down the road to joy

The engine stops and silence pours

Fills the holes and cracks don't fuse

Young and old girl and boy

Dance along the road to joy

Picture sharpens in your head

Opens up when it's been read

All the things you strain to see

Come move on in come to me

Show your eyes show your teeth

That's the way to build belief

Touch my hair touch my knee

You can wake up every part of me

Get the blood to flow in every nook and cranny

Get the blood to flow from my head to my toes

Get the blood to flow flowing all around me

Get the blood to flow with the life in my soul

Back in the world

Walking down the road to joy

Just when you think it can't get worse

The mind reveals the universe

Opens up a distant star

It gives you straight just who you are

I'm more a dog you're more a cat

Then we're getting bored of that

Alive again upon a snake

Then we jump into the lake
