I have it all





What need I, I have it all

There's nothing that I need

This garden offers everything

Oh, yes, it does indeed

Those branches dancing on the breeze

Green parrots gentle call

Soft music on the stereo

Oh yes, I have it all.

No treasures in this whole wide world

Could give me any more

One moment spent among the flowers

This be what I adore

Hibiscus with it's purple flowers

Those softly cooing doves

Soft green leaves in the morning sun

Oh, all of this I love.

Those dark grey clouds that fill the sky

Give off a hint of rain

As I wait to feel the velvet drops

I'm like a man insane

Drinking in the sweet damp air

And this beauty all around

I open up my heart and soul

                                  To the harmony here found.
