"Success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success."


When the time has come
And you're out of the maze
When your battles are won
And you're through every phase

When you've made mistakes
And patched every hole
When you've bypassed the fakes
And embraced every role

When you've traveled afar
And strayed from the crowd
When you bear every scar
And create your own sound

When you've gathered your courage
And wits and possessions
When you've emptied your storage
And you've learned every lesson

When your heart has been freed
And you've overcome pain
And there's a will to succeed
And a loss of disdain

When you've endured times of suffering
And your scattered mind is cleaned
When there's no time for buffering
And you've been judged and seen

Please think yourself over
Your entire self, not just some
The idea you need to ponder
Is if this time ever comes
