Happiness, That's All

"Our Father which art in heaven... " That's how I started off I never missed my night and morning prayers I read the bible and followed the commandments I confessed all my sins and I have repented I went to sabbath as often as I could But nothing I burnt incense and lit candles I wore robes and gave away my worldly possessions I slaughtered animals I brought my offerings to alters I have drank, bathed in and sprinkled the holy water I have been baptised with the water, fire and holy spirit Wished upon falling stars, 11:11, wishbones And still nothing I have given up the party life I fasted for forty days and nights I have given you my blood I devoted my life to you I have given you my soul, body and mind I have given up my all and more But still nothing God, can't you hear me? I don't ask for much, Just happiness that is not fleeting A little more than a moment of laughter A grin instead of a crack of a smile Lend me your ear and hear my prayers and answer Is that too much to ask for? God, can you really not hear me? Have my sins been so much that there's not even a case to plead? Am I such a bad person that you can't even listen to me? Try as I might, you still haven't answered Can you not hear me? Well, I beg of you for the last time Please, bless me with happiness that isn't fleeting
