Feel the earth,
and you’ll feel what it is,
happiness.

See the trees in their many-coloured green-ness,
and you’ll see what it is,
happiness.

Hear the rain in the misty-night darkness,
and you’ll hear what it is,
happiness.

Take the time to understand your heart’s seeking,
and you’ll know what it is,
happiness.

You’ll know what it is,
happiness,
and what it is not.
