I Want Nothing

lyrics

I WANT NOTHING

I want nothing more
I want nothing more what you're offering
I want nothing but
I want nothing but just what life holds for me

There is nothing I see
that isn't just right where it's supposed to be
I want no thing
just to clap and sing!

"Why why why" we cry to tomorrow,
that a lie lie lie betrays all that follows!
why seek truth when there's no proof out there?
it's what we share

If I strive to perceive
then everything seems to slip right past me
But when I just let it be
there's so much she wants to show me

"Why why why" it's our greatest fear
that we can't say why we've all been just put here!
Desperate to find the core of our unity
But what don't we see?

I'm not at fault for what I be
He's at fault for what he fails to see!
There is nothing that exists
but everything to take from this

"Tiger gets to hunt
Bird gets to fly
Man gets to ask himself 'why, why why?'"

"Tiger gets to rest
Bird gets to land
Man gets to tell himself he understand."
