The Secret of Contentment
=========================

[Verse 1]
Before us is the high-jump there.
It's much too high by far.
If we would know contentment now,
we must "lower the bar."

[Verse 2]
Conditions all around us now
are worst we've known by far.
If we would know contentment now,
we must "lower the bar."

[Verse 3]
A trusted one has failed us sore';
hurt and bitter we are.
If we would know contentment now,
we must "lower the bar."

[Verse 4]
When Satan comes with whisper sad,
"Hopeless failure you are."
If we would know contentment now,
we must "lower the bar."

[Verse 5]
The secret of contentment still,
no matter where we are:
adjust our expectation down
and thus "lower the bar."
