In the realm of the ever-turning wheel,  
Where desires carve deep, and dreams feel real,  
There's wisdom whispered in the quiet stone:  
"Be satisfied with the life you've got; leave well enough alone."

In the chase for the distant, shining more,  
We often miss the treasures at our door.  
The simplest joys, into grandeur, have grown,  
When we're satisfied with the life we've got, leaving well enough alone.

The laughter shared in the warmth of home,  
The peace found in moments alone,  
The beauty in the way the stars have shone,  
Teach us to cherish the life we've got, to leave well enough alone.

For in longing for the hill's other side,  
We miss the splendor of the ride.  
The heart's quiet contentment, softly sown,  
Finds us satisfied with the life we've got, leaving well enough alone.

So, let the world race to its frenzied beat,  
In stillness, find your retreat.  
In gratitude, let your seeds be thrown,  
And be satisfied with the life you've got, leave well enough alone.
