You can chase it down with whiskey, chase it with a pill
Buy another moment, but that moment always will
Fade away like morning fog when the sun gets high
Temporary happiness always says goodbye
Shopping bags and neon lights, another quick escape
But the hollow in the heart keeps that same old shape
I’ve tried the shortcuts, every road the world applauds
But the joy that lasts don’t come from temporary gods.
(Chorus)
There’s a long-lasting happiness, deep and wild and true
It don’t come in a bottle, don’t come chasing you
It comes from knowing the only true GOD, walking in His light
Doing what He made me for, it sets my soul upright
Be conscious of your spiritual need, let it lead you home
True happiness is planted where the spirit grows
If forever’s on the table, then joy can last that long
Not a fleeting feeling, but a steady, endless song
If He promises us life that never fades away
Then the happiness He offers ain’t for just a day
(Bridge)
And when I talk about my GOD, I’m the happiest on earth
Not because life is easy, but because I know my worth
He created me with purpose, wrote it in my core
And doing His will only makes me hunger more
(Chorus)
There’s a long-lasting happiness, deep and wild and true
It don’t come in a bottle, don’t come chasing you
It comes from knowing the only true GOD, walking in His light
Doing what He made me for, it sets my soul upright
Be conscious of your spiritual need, let it lead you home
True happiness is planted where the spirit grows
There’s a long-lasting happiness, deep and wild and true
It don’t come in a bottle, don’t come chasing you
It comes from knowing the only true GOD, walking in His light
Doing what He made me for, it sets my soul upright
Be conscious of your spiritual need, let it lead you home
True happiness is planted where the spirit grows.
(Spoken words inviting tone)
"Why not try to be conscious of your spiritual need,
Cuz that’s where long-lasting happiness will lead.
Matthew 5:3"
