What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.

A Part Of Happiness
If you want a big happiness part
Then listen with an open heart
And be brave to bear it all
Either its a pain or a joy that's small
So never hurry in listening to
The wishes of heart passing through
Any phase of trouble or pain
And any trace of joy or fain
And try working hard each day
For happiness is found along the way
So don't wait till you meet the end
For then life will not happiness send
And learn this rule of happiness today
That it is found along life's way
So don't feel inside bad or narrow
For happiness time is today and tomorrow.

Iin The Middle Of A Heartbeat
Tell me pretty girl, do
You know how I am?
Have you ever seen me
As your friend?
Anything we have is
Those hungry nights
But theres so much
Left unsatisfied
All those little things
You told me
Aint good enough to
Show me
That were gonna make
It through the time
I found out
In the middle of a
Heartbeat
And I know that im
Doin right
Together we are still
So far apart
I found out
In the middle of a
Heartbeat
And the more I try to
Be your light
I cant get any closer
To your heart
Now that Im afraid
Just to ask for more
Im still waiting
As I did before
If you only said that
Its not too late
We could then rely
Upon your fate
All those little things
Youd tell me
Could bear enough to
Show me
That were gonna make
It through the time
I found out
In the middle of a
Heartbeat
And I know that im
Tellin right
Together we are still
So far apart
I found out
In the middle of a
Heartbeat
And the more I try to
Be your light
I cant get any closer
To your heart
I found out
I found out
I found out
In the middle of a
Heartbeat
And I know that im
Doin right
Together we are still
So far apart
I found out
In the middle of a
Heartbeat ...

Ring Wandering
Wandering,
Ring wandering,
Round and round,
Until I'm found
I search and
lose myself,
eventually fading
out
Swirling the milk
with a spoon,
sooner or later
it's all blended
in a single cup
I'm lost but
I'm here
The place I stand
Is it my identity?
Wandering,
Ring Wandering,
Round and round,
Until I'm found

The most happiest man.......
Happiness is the most important
thing for you to achieve in your life
Happiness can not be gained
It is earned by your heart
Happiness can be found
When you are close to God and obeying his words
Happiness can be found
When you show your kindness to others
Happiness can be found
When you are nice to those you hate
Happiness can be found
When you help others
Happiness are the love and kindness
And learn to enjoy what ever comes along
Happiness is not far away from you
It is close to you heart
Happiness is serving God for all eternity
and once you fulfilled your wish
then you are the most happiest man.

I Smile
Oh yeah...uh huh...
Lost and all alone,
looking for a reason for being in this crazy world
Trying to go on
lookin for the answers to the questions,
There u were.
From the moment u appeared everything became so clear.
I'm so glad you found me, boy.
Chorus:
I smile when I think about the way you turned my life around.
I smile when I think about the happiness in you I've found.
I'm so amazed at what your love has done.
And when I think the best is yet to come, I smile.
Wandering in the dark, lost in the confusion
I thought I was losin my mind for sure.
I searched w all my heart, lookin 4 direction
Somethin to believe in...
There u were
And you were reachin out 2 me, You were everything I needed.
I'm so glad you found me, boy.
Chorus:
I smile when I think about the way you turned my life around.
I smile when I think about the happiness in you I've found.
I'm so amazed at what your love has done.
And when I think the best is yet to come, I smile.
Cause you've turned all my grey skies to the brightest blue
My life's filled w sunshine and it's all because of u
All because of u
Oh yeah...
Chorus:
I smile when I think about the way you turned my life around.
I smile when I think about the happiness in you I've found.
I'm so amazed at what your love has done.
And when I think the best is yet to come, I smile.
Chorus:
I smile when I think about the way you turned my life around.
I smile when I think about the happiness in you I've found.
I'm so amazed at what your love has done.
And when I think the best is yet to come, I smile.
La la la, oooh...

Help Yourself To Happiness
Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness its true
But finding it and keeping it seems difficult to do
Difficult because we think that happiness is only found in places where fame and wealth abound
And so we go on searching in phases of pleasure
Seeking recognition and monetary treasure
While being so unaware that happiness is just a state of mind within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind
For in making others happy we will be happy too
Because the happiness that you give away always returns to shine on you
Now my resources are reduced to a narrow compass.
This Happiness I Have Discovered
Who knows you better?
Your desires, wishes and dreams.
If I knew your needs,
I'd want you pleased right away.
Immediately.
Since that would allow you,
To recognize and share,
This happiness I have discovered.
And without you,
It would not have been found!
There is so much of it around,
If you just open your eyes!
And close that mouth of yours,
Sometimes.

Grace the world with your glow of happiness
Do not chase happiness
Search within you
There are lot many things
Inside you
Which have reasons
To make you happy
You pursuit or search for happiness outside
Does not take you anywhere
As what seemingly has a stock of happiness
Once you reach or achieve it
You realize that happiness
Lies further ahead somewhere
And you hunt for happiness
Takes a new turn
And this goes on and on
Only to make you understand
That you are back in square one
Devoid of happiness, your original search
Happiness, thus, cannot be anywhere else
But within you
Do not be on a stealthy stalk for happiness
Simply because others do so
Search within and discover
The happiness in you
Do not be on a race for happiness
But grace the world
With the glow of
Happiness within you

Far From Normal
I’m agonizing between smiles,
Still here but found across miles.
In the middle of laughter I’m crying,
In the middle of songs I’m mourning.
In the middle of the day I’m darkening,
In the light of tomorrow I’m fading.
In the way of survival I’m falling,
In the middle of life I’m dying!

Controversial
Fight for happiness
you may reach it,
and you may not
or fight for glory,
tighten your belt
you will reach it
and in the way you chose
you will meet shape of welfare
and the breeze of freedom will manipulate you
in the happiness way
or you will feel the bliss of asceticism
while carrying in your heart a belief
in your mind a knowledge
and in your hand a battle-ax
in the glory way
then simply compare
the happiness when achieving glory
with the glory when reaching to happiness
this is controversial.

Reach Out, I'll Be There
Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
And happiness is just an illusion
And the world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Come on, girl, reach out, for me, reach out for me.
I'll be there with the love I'll shelter you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through
When you're alone and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' on all on your own
When you need a hand to hold
Darling, reach out
Come on, girl, reach out, for me, reach out for me.
I'll be there with the love I'll comfort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through
I'll be there now baby you can always count on me
Reach out baby
I can tell the way you hang your head
You are alone now, and you're afraid
Through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found
I know what you're thinking
You're alone now, with no love of your own
Darling, come on girl
Reach out for me
Reach out for me
I'll be there with the love I'll shelter you
I'll be there with the love I'll comfort you
I'll be there now baby, you're always a friend of me
I'll be there with the love I'll comfort you
No, run to me
Cause I'll be there, baby
I will always shelter you
When you feel like you can't go on

The impartiality which, in contemplation, is the unalloyed desire for truth, is the very same quality of mind which, in action, is justice, and in emotion is that universal love which can be given to all, and not only to those who are judged useful or admirable. Thus contemplation not only enlarges the objects of our thoughts, but also the objects of our actions and our affections: it makes us citizens of the universe, not only of one walled city at war with the rest. In this citizenship of the universe consists man's true freedom, and his liberation from the thralldom of narrow hopes and fears.

happiness
is bliss
happiness,
is glowing
happiness,
is fun
happiness,
is an amazing feeling

happiness,
is giving someone a hug just because you can
happiness,
is that light in your eyes
happiness,
is what makes the world go around
happiness,
is bliss

The Road to Dohinob
it used to be a narrow road
fit only for the buffalo
muddy during the rain
and dusty during a sunny day
but today
the Road to Dohinob
is the one that leads to
heaven
along the road the flowers
sings
like the angels of his dreams
from where he is now
he imagines the long narrow path
expanding a bit
giving way to more space
for his new life
with her
at the tip of this wider road
he hears
the baby laughing
the skies are lighter than the usual blue
and the sunflowers are brighter than the stars at night
his heart cannot muster a word
for this newly found
happiness
overflowing.

Compass
Pursue the compass as a companion, likely to emit
What radio we reach as an avenue for the blessing.
Dark hearts converge merrily, worsening the creature,
Cleansing the see-through slippers of thought only.
Offered by me is an accident, only tonight,
To peruse the gladdening is an offence of course.
Many people have ridden on the blasphemy,
Boundless rot will ceremoniously flee and knot.
The compass may be the guide to fortunes and luckiness,
Too forgotten are the directions of north and south.

Maze of Happiness
Happiness
Can only be found
If you search for it
Like a vicious blood hound
Happiness
Is just like love
Just to get it
You will push and shove
Happiness
Is just a door
You open it up
And you just want more
Happiness
Grows like trees
It gets really big
But dies in a breeze
Happiness
Is what I could never find
So I went to the dark
To sit and hide
