Tears Of Joy
dustbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

10 years ago,
I told you "Just watch,
my dream will come true"
Someone laughed at me
and I felt ashamed
But you never said "you can't"
even when I told dream
like stories
I could believe in myself
because you were
always on my side
Every time I lost something
You gave me
another brand new hope
That failure and
those days I was at a loss
Nothing was in vain
Tears of joy
(I know my life wasn't wrong)
My damaged dream is
shedding tears with a smile
That once dark sky is
shining with stars
(I know my life wasn't wrong)
You told me
"never throw away your hope"
I wish this good time
would last forever

We should erase the word
"impossible" from the dictionary
I'd believe in one percent
of hope even if
someone laughed at me
I know my life wasn't wrong
I know my life wasn't wrong
Tears of joy
(I know my life wasn't wrong)
My damaged dream is
shedding tears with a smile
That once dark sky is
shining with stars
(I know my life wasn't wrong)
You told me
"never throw away your hope"
I promise I will keep singing on
I wish this good time
would last forever
The shooting stars
from a nocturnal sky
Tears of joy

I know my life wasn't wrong
I know my life wasn't wrong
I know my life wasn't wrong
I know my life wasn't wrong
I know my life wasn't wrong
I know my life wasn't wrong
I know my life wasn't wrong




I know my life wasn't wrong
I know my life wasn't wrong
