I Build A Week Around Joy - SOL ARIA
词:Zhong Junxian
曲:Zhong Junxian
Around joy
I build it
I used to save the good things
for a space that never came
Put my rest between the errands
put my music after pain
I would call it being busy
I would call it how life goes
But the week kept taking daylight
from the places I needed most
Now I write a walk on Tuesday
put a song inside the train
Call a friend on Friday evening
leave some room after the rain
Not a reward for being perfect
not a prize for getting through
Joy can be a thing I plan for
like the work I always do
I build a week around joy
not just a minute at the end
I build a week around joy
like it is allowed to happen
Light on Monday, rhythm Friday
Saturday with open sky
I build a week around joy
and let it have a place in my life
Place in my life
There is a note beside the meeting
that says breathe before you go
There is a street I choose on purpose
where the bright leaves move slow
I do not wait for celebration
I do not wait for better news
I can make a little weekend
out of ordinary blue
Now I write a walk on Tuesday
put a song inside the train
Call a friend on Friday evening
leave some room after the rain
Not a reward for being perfect
not a prize for getting through
Joy can be a thing I plan for
like the work I always do
I build a week around joy
not just a minute at the end
I build a week around joy
like it is allowed to happen
Light on Monday, rhythm Friday
Saturday with open sky
I build a week around joy
and let it have a place in my life
If I do not make a doorway
the day will fill the room
So I keep a little hour
where the good thing can bloom
This is not a luxury
This is how I stay alive
I build a week around joy
and let joy build me inside
I build a week around joy
not just a minute at the end
I build a week around joy
like it is allowed to happen
Light on Monday, rhythm Friday
Saturday with open sky
I build a week around joy
and let it have a place in my life
Around joy
I build it
