From the recording ONLY LOVE (Vol 2) Piano Songs
Lyrics
I AM HAPPY
First two lines by Hafiz - translation by Daniel Ladinsky
from ‘The Subject Tonight is Love’
I am happy even before I have a reason
I am filled with light
before the sun greets the sky
There is love in my heart
before I have a reason
There’s a joy just in being one with it all
I’m a child of the light
and my heart is eternal
My life is sustained by the Radiant One
There is peace in my heart
before I have a reason
I was living before I came into this world
My light will live on
beyond the form of creation
I am drawn to the light
like a moth to the flame
I was born to this world
but I’ll never belong here
I’m a traveller
moving through space and time
Whilst I’m here
I will share the love of my being
Until through death
my heart keeps singing
Praise be to Love – praise be to Love
I am happy even before I have a reason!
