🪶 Wunjo – Meaning
Wunjo is the rune of joy and harmony
It speaks of peace after struggle and unity after storm
It teaches that true happiness is shared, not possessed
To draw Wunjo is to remember gratitude — the calm within the song
Through joy, the soul returns home
[Verse 1]
After the storm, the silence sings,
Light returns on broken wings.
Every scar a story told,
Wunjo shines in hearts of gold.
[Chorus]
Wunjo — light of the free,
Echo of hope inside of me.
Joy reborn where pain once lay,
The sun still rises every day.
[Verse 2]
Laughter born from tears we cried,
Peace comes when the fears subside.
Every soul that’s walked through fire,
Knows that joy is truth’s desire.
[Chorus]
Wunjo — light of the free,
Echo of hope inside of me.
Joy reborn where pain once lay,
The sun still rises every day.
[Bridge]
It’s not the crown, it’s not the fight,
It’s finding love in the endless night.
In giving back, we start anew,
And joy becomes the path we choose.
[Final Chorus]
Wunjo — flame of the heart,
Harmony where worlds depart.
Sing with the wind, the soul’s refrain,
Through joy we’re whole again.
[Outro]
Wunjo… peace through joy.
