I Am Pure Joy


[Intro – airy, breathy, spoken like a rising spell]
You tried to dim me.
Break me.
Tame me.
But I rose laughing—
I am PURE JOY

[Verse 1]
I wear light like second skin
Gold in my lungs, fire within
You said I felt too much, too loud
But I was born to move the crowd

My laughter cracked your quiet room
My tears bloomed flowers in full bloom
You called me storm, I called it choice—
I am the sun behind my voice

[Pre-Chorus – shimmering, ascending]
I don’t glow just to be seen
I blaze because I’ve tasted grief
And made it sing, made it fly
Now I rise
And I reply—

[Chorus – euphoric and grounded]
I am PURE JOY
Not fragile, not fake
Not made to bend or just behave
I shine in color, I move in sound
I lift the broken off the ground
You call it loud, I call it mine—
I am PURE JOY, by fierce design

[Verse 2]
I’ve danced with shame and called it name
Held sorrow close, then loved again
Not light that hides behind a smile
But fire that stays, that dares, that climbs

You can’t contain what dares to bloom
I am the voice that fills the room
No filter, no disguise—
Just soul, and song, and rising skies

[Pre-Chorus – radiant]
I didn’t heal to shrink in place
I healed to laugh in your face
And every scar I ever wore
Now glows
And gives me more

[Chorus – repeated, expanded]
I am PURE JOY
Unshaken and whole
The echo deep inside my soul
I shine in color, I breathe in bloom
I turn the pain into perfume
You call it loud, I call it mine—
I am PURE JOY, by fierce design

[Bridge – whispered, then soaring]
I don’t ask to be allowed
I was born already crowned
No guilt, no mask, no decoy—
Just one wild truth:
I am PURE JOY

[Outro – like rising sun]
Let them tremble. Let them fade.
Let them bow or run away.
I don’t chase
I don’t destroy—
I just exist.
I am PURE JOY.

I Am pure joy

Stranger in Your Eyes

Verso 1 / Verse 1)
Quiero decirte cuánto tú me das,
Since you came, I don’t feel sad.
Pienso en tus ojos, siento tu luz,
You’re the fire inside my blues.
(Estribillo / Chorus)
Caíste del cielo a mis brazos, amor,
You fell from heaven, my heart was reborn.
Te amo, te siento, estás tan cerca,
Corazón y soul – my vida entera.
(Verso 2 / Verse 2)
Tu voz suena a blues, suave y real,
Your touch is tender, sweet and wild.
Cuando me abrazas, el tiempo se va,
The night stands still when you’re by my side.
(Estribillo / Chorus)
Caíste del cielo a mis brazos, amor,
You fell from heaven, my heart was reborn.
Te amo, te siento, estás tan cerca,
Corazón y soul – my vida entera.
(Puente / Bridge)
Si cae la lluvia en la oscuridad,
Stay with me till the morning light.
Juro mi vida, mi fe, mi ser,
You are my home, my every prayer.
(Final / Outro)
Corazón y soul – tú y yo,
One heart, one song, one endless glow.
Te amo, te siento, estás tan cerca,
Forever my love – my alma entera.

When You Close the Door

A languid blues-soul ballad capturing the hazy, contented exhaustion after Thanksgiving feasting—full bellies, lingering regrets, and the warm pull of family memories, all wrapped in a slow, soulful melody that whispers of indulgence and inevitable return.
