about

A song I wrote early in my diagnosis of scleroderma (an autoimmune disease) Choosing JOY is way better for quality of life!

lyrics

Joy Seeker..... Nicole Edwards

Spinning ‘round in circles
Chasing my own tail
Showing up for rehearsal
Praying I won’t fail
So I went to see the doctor
Things she didn’t know and couldn’t say
Sent me to a specialist
Said “It’s bad I can’t help you, just try to have a nice day.”

I’ve got this life to live and I will not be bitter
I don’t know what lies ahead
so I’m gonna be a Joy Seeker
Joy Seeker

An olive for my hunger
Tea to quench my thirst
Rest to keep me peaceful
It could always be worse
So I’ll surround myself by beauty
I’ll surround myself with love
and if it drains my energy
well it’s not worth it, I have had enough

I’ve got this life to live and I will not be bitter
I don’t know what lies ahead
so I’m gonna be a Joy Seeker
Joy Seeker

My Mamma talked to me about acceptance
She said we’re given what we’re given, you can like it or you can lump it
and for those of us who’re sitting up on the fence
it doesn’t matter where you fall there’s gonna be another wall
Well I could be filled with anger and be bitter
I could judge those around me: who is strong who is weaker
but life’s too short to be stuck in litter
I’m gonna spend my days being a Joy Seeker

I’ve got this life to live and I will not be bitter
I don’t know what lies ahead
so I’m gonna be a Joy Seeker
Joy Seeker
