It's not what you have
But what you don't
Not what you need
But what you want
That you think will make you happy
But it won't

It's not what you know
But what you see
Not what's going on
But what you tend to believe
That you think will make you happy
However brief

It's not in the moment
But the moment to come
Or how much you give
But the amount taken from
That you think will make you happy
But it won't

But the thing that will
Is the giving of self
When you focus on others
Being willing to help
That will make you happy
Above everything else
