[Intro] [Verse 1] Mama’s arms and Daddy’s hand, Brother teachin’ me to stand, Sister laughin’ in the kitchen light, Joy was simple, joy was right. [Chorus] Let people in, let people in, That’s where the joy of life begins, From the first breath to the very end, It’s a joy… if you let people in. [Verse 2] Twenty-somethin’, friends of every kind, Found a love that’s yours and mine, Said “I do” and then one day, Little copies came our way, Loved ‘em more than I love me, That’s the way it’s meant to be. [Chorus] Let people in, let people in, That’s where the joy of life begins, From the first breath to the very end, It’s a joy… if you let people in. [Bridge] The rest of the road, nobody knows, Where it bends or how it goes, But faces from everywhere still find their way, To love you through another day. A neighbor’s wave, a stranger’s smile, An old friend callin’ after a while, Gray in the hair and a slower stride, Still got a full heart, open wide. [Final Chorus] Let people in, let people in, From the first breath to the very end, It’s a joy… if you let people in. [Outro] Let people in. [End]
