All We Really Wanna Be



All We Really Wanna Be
Author: Mark V. Markov

Deep down inside
All we really wanna be
Is always happy.
Some seek and think
That ignorance is a bliss
When in fact the bliss is happiness

Some think that materialistic things
Will make them happy
Some think that an accomplishment in this world
Will make them happy
Some think that being financially rich
Will make them happy

But once achieved
The temporary happiness fades
And they are left empty again
The God hole in the soul
Is not filled with these things
And they realize
That they are empty again
In this life

In this life
All we really wanna be
The reason many want things
In this world
In this life
Is deep down inside

Everyone always wants to be happy
But to be happy always
Is only possible
When you have God in your life
Through His only begotten Son
Lord Jesus Christ

And someday in paradise
You will be happy
Every moment of your eternal existence
You will be glorious like the angels
Forever youthful
Forever beautiful

There will be no more tears
But only joy and happiness
Always in every moment
Every moment of your everlasting life
Because you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ...
