Shine On You

Everybody Everywhere
seeks happiness it's true.
But finding it and keeping it
seems difficult to do.

Difficult because we think
that happiness is found.
only in the places where
wealth and fame abound.

And so we go on searching
in "Palaces of Pleasure".
Seeking recognition and
monetary treasures.

Unaware that happiness
is just a "state of mind".
Within the reach of everyone
who takes the time to be kind.

For in making others happy
We will be happy too.
For the happiness you give away,
returns to "Shine on You".
