Tell me how long must I keep
|
WANTING THINGS,
|
Needing things, when I have so much.
|
There are many men who have much less than me,
|
Day by day they make their way.
|
And they find more in life thank I can see.
|
Tell me,
|
|
When will I learn to resist
|
WANTING THINGS,
|
Touching things that say "do not touch."
|
Peo-ple that I meet seem to think I am strong,
|
They don't see inside of me.
|
So they don't know I'm weak and often wrong.
|
Tell me,
|
Why must I keep WANTING THINGS,
|
Needing things that just can't be mine!
|
*(yes, WANTING THINGS,
|
that just can't...
|
be...
|
mine...)
|
