I want to have this
I want to have that
We scream and we yell
And become quite a brat
My friend has a new house
Another has a car
What other people have
Is how we set our bar
We forget to look at
All the things that we own
We think we need more
Until we’re all alone
What we long for is such
That it changes who we are
We forget social graces
We fight and we spar
We become what we long for
Forget what is real
Stomach aches head is hurting
We feel really ill
If we’d stop for a moment
Take a breath and relax
The image of what we’ve become
Will stop us in our tracks
What we want is not real
What we long for is crap
What we’ve become will soon be
Our life long road map
So let go of the physical
Let go of the need
Look deeper inside
And grow a new seed
Be happy and grateful
For all you possess
Become more and let go of
All that not needed stress
For where you set your mind
Is where you will go
Relax and be happy
And follow your inner flow
