I have no need of golden crowns or mighty halls of stone. I have no desire for piles of Jewels or silken sheets and fine linens. I find joy more in a Chili dog or being able to breathe clean air. I have a greater love of running in a pair of worn shoes than riding in a limousine. I have no desire to know the secret to life, I just want to live it. I do not care to spend my life stuck in books that I cannot understand. I want to drink water from a cool stream and climb a tall Oak tree. I want to see the world for myself, I do not need someone to do it for me. Some people have to pile up wealth in order to be happy. I just want a place to lay my head in peace, that is fine with me. I just want to be left to my own devices, I just want to live and be free.
