All I Need
I've got all a man could want
As far as I can see
So why do I feel I don't
Feel as though I'm free
With all these modern conveniences
Stacked in front of me
I'd rather be at the point
Where none of this I need
The point where I could be happy
With what's on my back
Not looking at others around me
Seeing all that I lack
Where the give away is more at play
Than the grab and keep
Where happiness is all I have
And the only thing I need
Where I can pick it up
And move at any given time
Not tied to the worlds gallows pole
As my life line
Not in the sinking sand of debt
Struggling to be free
But free from all I see
Is my only need
