What course is this I have taken?
What is this my heart has desired?
O how deceitful can the heart be?
I sought happiness,
That I sought with diligence,
Oblivious of the cost,
Whatever path I had to take I took,
Just so I get to my happiness,
O this heart is deceitful!!
Vanity! Vanity!!
What race is this I run?
I chase the wind,
I race with the wind,
A simpleton, my professor would call me,
True, I am a fool,
They said regard wisdom,
Get understanding even if it costs all your fortune,
Now I know the true meaning of these words,
A fool now finds wisdom,
I will not chase this again,
The wind is far to fast,
The end game? Naught!
I will choose my race again,
I will reconsider the path I take,
May happiness find me,
Even as I seek to do your will,
The will of He who sent me,
End this meaningless race,
Awaken purpose within me,
May I find meaning to my days,
May I sing of your goodness in my days.
