I crave no palace, two stories high,
Nor glittering jewels to catch the eye.
No palace, no jewels, I do not plead,
But Mother, contentment, a heart that's freed.
Contentment's treasure, my only plea,
Contentment's treasure, eternally.

In this world's pleasures, sorrow resides,
In life's embrace, death subtly glides.
In this world's pleasures, sorrow's sting,
Life's dance with death, the life it will bring.
Though release may sever, though it may cleave,
From the bonds of illusion, I seek to believe.
But Mother, contentment, my heart's desire,
Contentment's treasure, a burning fire.
Contentment's treasure, eternally.

Hope and longing, never find their end,
Though treasures are won, and fortunes extend.
In the quest for peace, unrest takes hold,
Each life is lost, a story untold.
Hope and longing, never cease to be,
In the chase for peace, we never are free.
Who gives all to Thee, the One so dear,
Has everything, banishing all fear.
But Mother, contentment, my heart's desire,
Contentment's treasure, a burning fire.
Contentment's treasure, eternally.

Forget me not, this is my prayer,
Within me, Mother, your presence to share.
Forget me not, this is my call,
Within me, Mother, encompass all.
In the colors of devotion, let me reside,
Oh, in the colors of devotion, let me abide.
But Mother, contentment, my heart's desire,
Contentment's treasure, a burning fire.
Contentment's treasure, eternally.

In every grain of this world, I see,
Your form, oh Mother, eternally.
On a thread of silence, my heart cries out,
Each moment, Mother, without a doubt.
With blessings like flowers, a fragrant array,
Oh, with blessings like flowers, fill my soul this day.
But Mother, contentment, my heart's desire,
Contentment's treasure, a burning fire.
Contentment's treasure, eternally.
I crave no palace, two stories high,
Nor glittering jewels to catch the eye.
But Mother, contentment, a heart that's freed.
Contentment's treasure, my only plea,
Contentment's treasure, eternally.
