about

I wrote "Pursuit of Happiness" in wanting to remind myself---and others---that in the pursuit towards happiness, don't forget to be a part of the present and be grateful in the process

lyrics

Pursuit of Happiness
by Sara Hickman

Hiding and seeking
Thinking and Speaking
Wanting and needing
And loving and leavingIn your pursuit of happiness
I see you running yourself to death
In your pursuit of happiness
Dont forget to count your blessings

Hiding and seeking
Thinking and Speaking
Wanting and needing
And loving and leaving
Hiding and seeking
Thinking and Speaking
Wanting and needing
And loving and leaving

Go for the gold
Straight for the glittering gold
Forego the silver, forget the bronze
Stick to your guns, look to the skies
Break a sweat, better yet
Break your back
‘Til your dream’s realized

In your pursuit of happiness
I see you running yourself to death
In your pursuit of happiness
Dont forget to count your blessings

Hiding and seeking
Thinking and Speaking
Wanting and needing
and loving and leaving
Hiding and seeking
Thinking and Speaking
Wanting and needing
and loving and leaving

Work your way to the top of the heap
You’re living a dream and there’s no time to sleep
Invest what’s left of yourself
Do it alone without anyone’s help
If at first you don’t succeed
Practice makes perfect
Ambition builds greed
You’re addicted, indeed
Burn, baby, burn, feel the burn
You’ve been so eager to climb
The ladder
You’ve bought into those loving lies
Life has been passing before your eyes

In your pursuit of happiness
I see you running yourself to death
In your pursuit of happiness
Dont forget to count your blessings

Hiding and seeking
Thinking and Speaking
Wanting and needing
and loving and leaving
Hiding and seeking
Thinking and Speaking
Wanting and needing
and loving and leaving
