Packed my bags, set my sights
On distant lands and starry nights
Chasing dreams and whispered tales
Of happiness in foreign trails
From the bustling streets of Tokyo
To the quiet peace of a Swiss meadow
Searched for joy in every place
But found it hidden, hard to trace
Journeyed far and wide, to see
Happiness eluded me
Until I looked within and found
The joy I sought was all around
Climbed the peaks of old Nepal
Felt the echo of a canyon call
Danced in Rio's carnival
Hoping happiness would fall
Met wise men in ancient lands
Felt the warmth of golden sands
But through it all, a quiet voice
Kept whispering the simplest choice
Journeyed far and wide, to see
Happiness eluded me
Until I looked within and found
The joy I sought was all around
Journeyed far and wide, to see
Happiness eluded me
Until I looked within and found
The joy I sought was all around
Climbed the peaks of old Nepal
Felt the echo of a canyon call
Danced in Rio's carnival
Hoping happiness would fall
Met wise men in ancient lands
Felt the warmth of golden sands
But through it all, a quiet voice
Kept whispering the simplest choice
Journeyed far and wide, to see
Happiness eluded me
Until I looked within and found
The joy I sought was all around
Journeyed far and wide, to see
Happiness eluded me
Until I looked within and found
The joy I sought was all around
So now I know, wherever I roam
Happiness eluded me, I hope
The journey ends where it began
With peace and love, I understand
