Good Life
Embracing Life's Riches: A Journey Through Loss and Love
Lyrics
I've watched my dreams all fade away
I've witnessed my aspirations gradually disappear
And blister in the sun
And suffer under the harsh conditions of life
Everything I've ever had is unraveled and undone
Everything I possessed has come apart and fallen apart
I've set upon a worthless stack
I've invested time and effort in a useless pile
Of my ambitious plans
Comprising my grand plans and goals
And the people that I've loved the most
The people I cared for the most have turned away and deserted me
Have turned their backs and ran
Have turned their backs and fled
This is the good life
Contrarily, this challenging situation is considered a fulfilling and content life
I've lost everything
I've forfeited everything I could desire
I could ever want
And every dream I could ever have
And ever dream of
This is the good life
This challenging circumstance is still considered a rewarding and fulfilling life
I found everything
I've discovered everything I could need
I could need
Here in the embrace of a loved one
Here in your arms
Loneliness has left me searching
The absence of companionship has driven me to seek someone to love
For someone to love
Financial hardship has altered my perspective on true wealth
Poverty has changed my view
Poverty has shifted my understanding of what genuine riches entail
Of what true riches are
Sorrow's opened up my eyes
Experiencing sorrow has enlightened me to recognize authentic joy
To see what real joy is
Pain has been the catalyst
Pain has served as the catalyst for my heart's happiness
To my heart's happiness
What good would it be
What significance would it hold to have everything
If you had everything
Yet lack the only essential thing you require
But you wouldn't have
The only thing you need
