On and on and on (spoken) and on we go (sung) Oh, no matter what we have why do we feel alone? Happiness and Joy, what are those supposed to be? Men have searched far and wide, where are the answers that we need? _______________________________________ Once we knew the world was bigger we had to claim our stake lest we become bitter what makes us content, stable, strong so many options to make us feel like we belong Yet it all feels like sedatives when your awake you’re still separated all of life seems full of chemical addatives you’re not depressed, just frustrated Ever find yourself sighing as your mind begins crying why does happiness feel like a ceremony after the good times roll you’re still so sad and still so lonely How can one smile but lose hope? No one can cope with this forever. What is happiness? We need to know so we can be severed from this loneliness Good news! Happiness is not what you want it to be. It has some objective reality. It’s something you can give and receive pleasure from circumstances, gifts, company But pleasure is the key word it doesn’t last whether it’s a slow or quick burn it’s gone too fast Happy is something you choose to be even in the face of adversity It takes sweat to be full of love and charity leave behind those lonely walls walk down the halls of others treat them like friends, like sisters, like people, like brothers Have you ever heard “treat your neighbor as yourself?” We can’t just take life in the lights can still go dim that’s where the difference between who you are now and who you can be steps in But we’re so stubborn we say we can’t change what we’ve become is ingrained there’s no other perspective to take that we’re special kinds of people that are burned and baked Change will happen inevitably you can choose how, incredibly you’re not a variation on a theme your music is beautiful you’re immeasurable worth is irrefutable Happiness is not enough you’ve got yourself and life is tough I hear you, I get it but there’s no need to be narcissistic living for yourself and your own interests The reason you feel empty could it be that you’re the one you live for? with that mentality you’ll lose hope start keeping score it’s not you versus the world anymore __________________________________________ On and on and on (spoken) and on we go (sung) Oh, no matter what we have why do we feel alone? Happiness and Joy, what are those supposed to be? Men have searched far and wide, where are the answers that we need? __________________________________________ Joy is inside, it’s a gladness of heart from God unlimited hopeful, assured, not timid there’s no prestige, compensation, accolades through every trial it stays Joy is content except to serve, to give whether a friend or stranger joy keeps going in the face of shame and danger it sees you for who you are a person worth the time of day each and everyday peering through strength and weakness it picks people up and says, “I’ll walk with you through victories and bleakness.” Joy has no hesitation, trepidation, cessation resulting from resounding peace inside from a flicker to a flame it’s light remains in truth I proclaim If you only love those who love you what good does it bring that won’t build you up politicians do the same thing If you only greet your brothers what more are you doing than others? Do nothing out of selfishness, conceit with humility of mind pack some humble heat treat others as more important than yourself use your human heartbeat living for yourself demands implosive ambition let your drive for yourself change direction from your inside out, reach out send out a transmission change is real there’s no precondition ____________________________________________ Happiness and Joy, now we know what they are. Men have searched far and wide, who knew God had what we need?
