Story Behind The Song

This song comes from my process of learning to enjoy the moment, whether in traffic or some other annoyance. Not just to wait for the destination to find joy.

Song Description

This song is a folk-funk, groovy, upbeat song with acoustic guitar and hand drums. The vocals are female, with some accapella 3-part harmonies and weaving harmonies throughout. The theme is an exhortation to find joy in the journey of life. It begins dramatically with vocals only in 3-part harmony singing "Welcome to this moment in time...don't let pass you by!" Then the rhythm come in with the guitar. It's a happy song that puts a smile on your face.

Lyrics

Welcome to this moment in time,
don?t let it pass you by.
Relish in the present,
open up your heart and your mind.
Fasten your seatbelt, honey, and hold on tight?
we?re going for a little ride I like to call life.
Oh yeah, we?re going for a little ride I like to call life.
So roll down the windows and take in the sights?

If you can find?Joy in the journey,
Peace in the journey
Love in the journey, You are truly blessed.

I am just an alien here, this is not my home.
I?m on my way to another frontier,
for long I?ll be gone
But I?ve got a journey and some miles to go,
so I?ll try to make it better while I?m on this road.
Oh yeah, I?ll try to lighten up when the traffic?s stuck.
So roll down the windows and dare to feel that cool breeze blow?

If you can find?Joy in the journey,
Peace in the journey
Love in the journey, You are truly blessed.

Follow, follow your dreams, And you (you can do)
Just about anything
Don?t let those troubles bring you down
Life can be a fight, but you gotta stand your ground.
Fight you must, and, win some, you can
If you give it your all. And while you?re at it,
try to learn some lessons, and look for the joy.

If you can find?Joy in the journey,
Peace in the journey
Love in the journey, You are truly blessed.
Yes you are truly blessed.
