Filling this life with heavenly happiness,
For as long as we live.

Peace of mind day and night,
Whatever it takes to ensure it stays,
If any obstacles come in between, I will break them down,
Even if fate itself stands in the way, I will fight it,
Just as I have envisioned,
My heart will find joy every single day.
Mine is a heart that showers love,
And my spirit sings like a bird.
If my family smiles, I will always smile too.
Mine is a heart that showers love,
And my spirit sings like a bird.
