[Verse 1]
It's only for a moment
Then it’s gone in a flash
The best things, they don't last
They come and then they go so fast
All the make-believe and wonder
The stories that your father told
Dreaming in fool's paradise
To busy to sleep with a future waiting to unfold
There was a time when you couldn’t tell
It was all in the name of love
Oh, how do we know what to take or leave?
With each day, a new way to see the world
Growing with wisdom
Like the blossomed oak facing to the sun
[Chorus]
Maintain a joyful mind (Maintain a joyful mind)
Maintain a joyful mind (Maintain a joyful mind)
Maintain a joyful mind (Maintain a joyful mind)
Maintain a joyful mind
[Verse 2]
Oh, the fear of time
Now you can hardly remember the moves
That you danced in your prime
But what will it take to remind yourself
Forgive a little lie
Only then can we make up for all the lost time
I've got to know, how did we decide to dig for gold?
When did we stop to grow so old
And the world is changing, but we remain all in our heads
Got to build the fortress to feel again
A place for hope and wonder to reign
For the dream to live, to come to life once again (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Maintain a joyful mind (Maintain a joyful mind)
Maintain a joyful mind (Maintain a joyful mind)
Maintain a joyful mind (Maintain a joyful mind)
Maintain a joyful mind (Oh)
Maintain a joyful mind (Ooh)
Maintain a joyful mind
Maintain a joyful mind (Maintain a joyful mind)
Maintain a joyful mind
[Outro]
Do whatever you need to free yourself
Do whatever you need, whatever you need to free yourself
Do whatever you need, whatever you need to free yourself
Oh, Do whatever you need to free yourself
