Musings on the definition of success and its relationship to happiness, inspired particularly by the stress with which modern society advocates the importance of accumulating possessions.

lyrics

They say success can lead to happiness, but I donʼt know
‘Cause even when we all look up and see the stars
We see the morning has come and gone, but our words will hang till dawn
Open your eyes.
They say that money can make you free, but I donʼt know
ʻCause even when I bought the world I couldnʼt see
Whatʼs the use of gold, if it canʼt soothe your soul?
Open your eyes.
Satisfactionʼs elusive hand is pulling me ʻround
When my desires I satisfy, the paradox I amplify, the void still gets me down
Though we work to buy more stuff, we never have enough
Open your eyes.
