Happiness In Concert

The happiness of this world, is a lot like tomorrow
No matter how fast you run, it is still in the yet to be.
If you spend all your life, pursuing an artificial feeling,
When you are old and alone, your tomorrow will have become
A once upon a yesterday. If your dream is a hollow one,
Full of selfishness and greed, your tomorrow will be a war,
And your yesterday will show, what you have become.

True happiness however, the singing of the soul,
Is the sunrise and sunset, brief, beautiful and every time unique.
Each bright sunburst in your life, Will be separated by
The lonely sounds of angry darkness, and the heat of daylight fear,
But each time, that colour fills the sky, and your heart is filled with song,
Remember the tune, To fight away the fear and the feeling to know,
You are not alone, if you dream your dream,
Of truthful happiness and joy, your heart will be free,
And you will never be alone
