Everything I Need

I’ve seen the depths of New York City
Crash down on me, renting prosperity
I’m a seed longing to become a tree
A butterfly learning to use its wings

And I found inside, everything I need to survive
I wonder why this long winding road is mine
And I try anything I can to get by
Anything that keeps me alive
Everything I need to survive

So many lifetimes, so many goodbyes
So many hard times pave the way for the goldmine
I ride this big wave and rolling tide
I glide through life’s uncertain skies

And I found inside, everything I need to survive
I wonder why this long winding road is mine
And I try anything I can to get by
Anything that keeps me alive
Everything I need to survive

Look into my eyes
I wish look in my eyes
See through the disguise
The body lies

I’m just light in a body finding vibrations of the lucky tyrants
I’m trying to cure this nonsense
Caution to the wind, prepare to ascend and begin
Because life’s just pretend, life’s what you make it
Life’s doing great, yeah, life’s what you make it
This lifetime I chose to rhyme

Time’s running out, better wake your brother
Better shake your sister, be with your third eye
See with your heart, living starts in the part
Where your heart meets the mind, let the heart guide

Let spirit find, a way to release
A way to face death and disease
Face crushed economies
Face mass murder and thieves
Face treason, and it’s just my face
In the mirror that’s facing me

We choose to fear and not see
We all just hide behind screens
And rant about Tinder and apps that don’t work
And Facebook and Snapchat and the babes that can twerk
Well, I’ll tell you now, changes are coming around
Live in the present, because the time is now

I (ask if you need to, ask how)
Found inside (live in the present because the time is now)
Everything I need to survive (ask if you need to, ask how)
I wonder why (live in the present because the time is now)
This long winding road is mine (ask if you need to, ask how)

And I try (live in the present because the time is now)
Anything I can to get by (ask if you need to, ask how)
Anything that keeps me alive (live in the present because the time is now)

I’m just light in a body finding vibrations of the lucky tyrants
I’m trying to cure this nonsense
Caution to the wind, prepare to ascend and begin
Because life’s just pretend, life’s what you make it

I’m just light in a body finding vibrations of the lucky tyrants
I’m trying to cure this nonsense
Caution to the wind, oh prepare to ascend and begin
Because life’s just pretend, life’s what you make it
Life’s doing great, yeah, life’s doing great, yeah

Life’s what you make it, life’s what you make it
Life’s what you make it, life’s what you make it
Life’s doing great, yeah

I’ve seen the heights of New York City
