All of us will die soon
Nobody is permanent in this world
It’s just a matter of time who’s going to leave this lovely place first
Most of the time, fate always comes with a lot of surprises
Today you saw a happy friend and the next day, you witness a mourning crowd

It always stabs me right to my chest
To witness heartbreaking parting ways of people
I can’t breathe whenever I look at the eyes of a broken person who's left behind sorrowful

At some point, I ask the universe, why people with the softest heart leaves us the earliest
And why those who did something mischievous lives longer

I met a friend who always remind me to enjoy every moment
Now, I think that statement must be true
Feel the moment while you still can
Be happy with the little penny you have in your pocket

True happiness doesn’t come with a price
It is a genuine feeling only felt by the heart
You don’t have to submit complicated requirements
Or present your appealing credentials written in your 10-page resume

Money, power, and honor feed the physical thirst of the world
A lot of people aim for these merits, thinking this is the ticket to reach the optimum contentment

I disagree with this claim
I am not rich but I am not poor
Didn’t even got the chance to be appointment in any position
But despite these inequities, I can say, I have felt the genuine happiness deep down to my soul
And I realize that contentment is the key to satisfaction

That’s why if given the chance to choose a status
I would prefer to live away from the noise
The best option would be to live in the mountains
To remind myself how fortunate I am to have experienced these opportunities

I would like to believe that when the time comes that it is my turn to leave
I will surely carry all the wonderful memories with me
So why should I aim for money, honor, and glory?
If I will be leaving them anyway?
