Personal Happiness

if you put your personal happiness in someone else's hands
what will happen when that foundation becomes sinking sand?
personal happiness can only be found inside one's self
personal happiness is dependent on your spiritual health

God gave you His love, some power and a sound mind
He gave you a special gift that you need to find
a gift that  will bring passion and happiness into your life
a gift that will help you deal with life's struggles and strife
a gift that will stir you up with a desire to succeed
and when you discover it, it will provide all that you'll need

so look inside of yourself, deep in your heart and mind
realize your full potential and happiness you will find
seek that which was given to you by the power of the heavenly throne
the gift that will bring you happiness even if you're all alone
