As Sweet As Honey If you're thirsty Drink some water If you need some air Just breath it in If your hungry You don't need to slaughter You just need to know where to begin There are many ways to be yourself Everybody knows a different you You don't need to do anything more Than what you are assigned to do You don't need to be anything more Than what you are designed to be You won't be anything more Than you me And depression Is just a state of mind Always dwelling on the past Anxiety is just a state of mind thinking tomorrow can't come too fast Being stressed is just a state of mind You need to let go of what it is To know you're blessed is a state of mind No less than a state of bliss If you're thirsty Drink some water If you need some air Just breath it in If your hungry You don't need to slaughter You just need to know where to begin Be cause life can be Sweet as honey You don't need money You don't need all the things That you think you need That's just greed Selfishness It's a desease And it's infected almost everyone in their blind pursuit of happiness There's no reason for accumulation You have nothing When you're dead If you're thirsty Drink some water If you need some air Just breath it in If your hungry You don't need to slaughter You just need to know where to begin Nowhere to begin
