The Pursuit of Happiness?

I just want other people to get it.

 

Like you're chasing worthless nothing's Running after something...

But what they chase will never satisfy because to get what they want

they have to live in their lies.

 

They're running chasing reaching

but never grasping

they get what they want

but it's never lasting.

 

They call it the Pursuit of Happiness,

 

not knowing what they're chasing is a big crappy mess.

The things they want are oh so temporary

and nothing they have now will go with them to the cemetery.

 

And some people say you've got one life

live it today

but they really forgot that there's always a tomorrow!

They refuse to acknowledge that this life is borrowed

like no wonder all the hearts are filled with sorrow.

 

We've got this yolo mindset so we go and waste our minds...

Yet all this time there was a greater rhyme...

 

Because They're running chasing reaching

but never grasping

they get what they want

but it's never lasting

because they lost focus of the love that is everlasting!

 

He came and lived with a sole purpose..

To die..

He came as the perfect sacrifice

knowing that only in his death could he

 

TRULY BRING US LIFE.
