Happiness

Grief, sorrow, and want was what he lay in,

Happiness was what he mourned for!

Luck passed his way,

For the biggest lottery ticket was what he won!

Pleasures of life were his,

Poor man,

For that was what he mistook as happiness!

Grief, sorrow, and want was what he lay in,

Happiness was what he mourned for!

Luck passed his way,

For a bag full of gold coins was what he found!

Pleasures of life were his,

Poor man,

For that was what he mistook as happiness!

Grief, sorrow, and want was what he lay in,

Happiness was what he mourned for!

This time, a boy was who passed his way.

Married was he with the merriness of the boy,

For the biggest pleasure of life was his!

Poor is the fate of man,

To mistake money for happiness!

Money provides pleasures of life,

But deprives people of real happiness!
