Values

When most all you've had's been taken, and the rest all took off and gone. Been misused and abused, for so, so long. When you work so hard, for all of your day. Just to take what you make and have it stripped away. When it's all been burned after enough lessons learned. After everything you ever loved has been stolen, lost or died and your eyes have become permanently dried. Then your wants, your needs, your thoughts on these, your ideas and beliefs. Well they start to change. You might see things for what they are. A home is your home, and a car is just a car. Your priorities might differ from before Become satisfied with what you have not always wanting more. Things taken for granted now desired the most. Things not thought of now held so close. To be warm and dry and not be hungry is all I really need in order to be happy.
