Happiness
MALL GRAB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is nothing to possess
If all the things that it can bring
Can't add up to one ounce of your happiness
All the gold in all the world
Is nothing to possess
If all the things that it can bring
Can't add up to one ounce of your happiness

All the gold in all the world
Even if one has all the wealth in the world
Is nothing to possess
It means nothing
If all the things that it can bring
Even if wealth can provide everything
Can't add up to one ounce of your happiness
It still can't make you happy as much as a tiny portion of true happiness can.
