In the quiet of the night, a whisper calls
Beyond the shoulds, where true happiness falls
A path uncharted, yet beckoning bright
To leave behind the shadows, step into the light
Society's chains, they bind so tight
Expectations weigh heavy, obscuring sight
But the heart knows a different song
A melody of freedom, where we truly belong
The world says "do this," "be that," "achieve"
Yet the soul yearns for more, to truly believe
In the beauty of moments, simple and pure
In the joy of being, a happiness sure
Beyond the shoulds, where dreams take flight
Where the spirit dances in the soft moonlight
A journey inward, to the core of being
To find the truth, beyond all seeing
Let go of the masks, the roles we play
Embrace the essence, come what may
For in the heart's quiet, a truth unfolds
A story of love, waiting to be told
The journey is not easy, the path unclear
But with each step, the vision draws near
To live authentically, to be truly free
To find happiness in simply being me
Beyond the shoulds, where the heart is light
Where joy is found in the simplest sight
A journey to self, a journey to grace
To find true happiness in this sacred space
So, listen to the whisper, the call of the soul
Let it guide you to where you are whole
Beyond the shoulds, where true happiness lies
In the embrace of life, where the spirit flies
