Only on myself I spend my life
no joy, no satisfaction, no fulfilment
a life full of much regrets
Everything I do for me alone
More than others I think of myself
Myself only I love
My thoughts only I cherish
Whatever I have I treasure
Power will I aspire
pushing others
out of my way
thinking that’s the best way
Alas end up joyless and sad
For wealth will I strive
Very hard will I squeeze others
to get every cent
from their vault
end up having more stress and ulcers
Then I crave for relationships
through fame and fortune
blazing my path a trail of wounded hearts
Friendship I soon realise springs from the heart
Vanity! Vanity! Vanity!
I cry out
Who can deliver me
from such predicament
Like the Prodigal, I return to the Lord
In Him I find real joy
and unspeakable peace
I once was lost but now I’m found
Light the path of generosity
Help me to give like You
