Secret of Happiness

I wandered through a thousand streets, chasing after every glow

Thought the world would hand me meaning, thought that someone else would know

Every promise, every whisper felt like answers in the wind

But the more I kept on searching, the less I felt within

I kept reaching out, hoping someone’d make me whole

Trying to fill the empty places in my soul

But every shadow faded when I finally learned the cost—

The moment you look beyond yourself, you’ve already lost

’Cause the secret of happiness

Is hiding in your chest

In the quiet beating rhythm that you never second-guess

You don’t need the world to tell you

Where to stand or who to be

There’s a universe inside you

Waiting just to be set free

Close your eyes, take a breath—

Everything you need is in your steps

Look within, and you’ll confess

You had it all along

I used to chase a perfect life, painted in someone else’s shade

Thought if I could fit the picture, I’d be happy every day

But truth is like a gentle rain, falling only when you’re still

It speaks in quiet honesty: your heart is where you build

No more running after echoes in the crowd

No more drowning out my voice with something loud

All the doors I knocked on, all the time I thought I lost—

Was leading me back home to me, no matter what the cost

’Cause the secret of happiness

Is hiding in your chest

In the quiet beating rhythm that you never second-guess

You don’t need the world to tell you

Where to stand or who to be

There’s a universe inside you

Waiting just to be set free

If you’re reaching for the sky

But you don’t know who you are

Even touching all the stars

Still won’t take you very far

Turn your gaze back to the mirror

See the truth shining clearer—

You’re the meaning you were searching for

Yeah, the secret of happiness

Was in you all along

In the courage just to trust yourself

When everything feels wrong

You don’t need the world to guide you

You’re enough—just wait and see

There’s a universe inside you

You were always meant to be
