[Verse 1 (Spring)]
Ain’t nobody gonna steal my joy
Ain’t nobody gonna break my walk
My happiness ain’t built on this world I’m in
I’m just passing through while the seasons talk
There was a springtime when it all felt new
When every dream felt close enough
I held on tight to things I loved
But even spring can turn rough
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I learned in the break and bend
Some things don’t leave when they’re gone
[Chorus]
Ain’t no one gonna steal my joy
Ain’t no one gonna break my walk
High or low, wherever I go
That’s one thing time can’t talk
Happy or sad, it comes and it goes
Like wind through an open door
But the love that found me still stands
And it’s what I’m living for
Ain’t no one gonna steal that joy
Ain’t no one gonna break that walk
[Verse 2 (Summer)]
Summer came loud, bright, and fast
Long days I thought would stay
But even sunshine burns your skin
When you lose your way
Chasing things that couldn’t last
I learned what it means to fall
But something steady pulled me back
A whisper through it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I learned in the break and bend
Some things don’t leave when they’re gone
[Chorus]
Ain’t no one gonna steal my joy
Ain’t no one gonna break my walk
High or low, wherever I go
That’s one thing time can’t talk
Happy or sad, it comes and it goes
Like wind through an open door
But the love that found me still stands
And it’s what I’m living for
Ain’t no one gonna steal that joy
Ain’t no one gonna break that walk
[Verse 3 (Fall)]
Now fall came slow like a heavy truth
Leaves turning gold then gone
Had to sit with everything I lost
And learn how to move on
Some faces only stay a while
Some roads don’t lead you back
And I saw how memory and pain
Can walk the same old track
But even in the letting go
There’s something I still find
A deeper kind of peace that grows
In the quiet of the mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I learned in the break and bend
Some things don’t leave when they’re gone
[Chorus]
Ain’t no one gonna steal my joy
Ain’t no one gonna break my walk
High or low, wherever I go
That’s one thing time can’t talk
Happy or sad, it comes and it goes
Like wind through an open door
But the love that found me still stands
And it’s what I’m living for
Ain’t no one gonna steal that joy
Ain’t no one gonna break that walk
[Verse 4 (Winter)]
And winter came without much sound
Just cold and honest air
Where you finally sit alone with life
And see who’s really there
No pretending, no bright disguise
Just the truth you can’t outrun
But even in the frozen ground
Something waits for sun
And that’s where I learned the deepest thing
When nothing else felt sure
There’s a love that doesn’t change with time
That holds me evermore
[Final Chorus]
Ain’t no one gonna steal my joy…
Spring to winter, it all will change
But I know what I’ve found
A love that holds when everything goes
And it won’t let me down
Ain’t no one gonna steal that joy
Ain’t no one gonna break that walk
