Happiness and contentment are rare
That you will not find them on earth
All your life you try to seek them
You spent much just to gain them.

You seek them in riches,
You seek them in fame,
You travel local and abroad
And yet haven’t find them.

Oh, where is true happiness?
Where is contentment?
No matter how much riches you gain,
You are still not contented.

The truth my son is this
The true happiness that you seek
And the contentment that you want
Are just inside your heart.

You will feel and enjoy them
If God almighty is inside your heart
For true happiness comes from God
Only through Him you’ll gain contentment.
