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

(We're waking up, waking up, waking up)
(Waking up the road to joy)

Sore eyes, swollen skies
Look for anchors, look for ties
Sharp sounds swim around
Soak 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 in the throbbing of the darkness
Been so many days, I've been waiting for you

Back in the world
We're waking up the road to joy

Love calls through the walls
Warms the earth wherever it falls
Lights form and call 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 this state of meditation
This is how it goes, I've been waiting for you

Back in the world
We're waking up the road to joy
Back in the world
We're walking down the road to joy

The engine stops and silence pours
Fills the holes and cracked stone floors
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
Can move on in and come to be

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, put the life in my soul

Back in the world
We're 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
That 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, a bird, a snake
Then we jump into the lake
