All I Need


If there were only one thing in life you couldn't live without, what would it be?

Would it be the love for your mother, or the love for your brother?

How about your favorite pet

Or the necklace around your neck?

Could it be the stars, or the way the sun falls?

If there were only one thing in life I couldn't live without, what would it be?

Well, I suppose it would be the air I breathe

 

The air within my lungs

the air that holds the sun

For without air I couldn't go anywhere

I wouldn't be able to feel the leaves or hang from the trees,

Without air my mother would of never cared

I wouldn't live the life I live now

Maybe I wouldn't even be around

because without the air how would I breathe

how would you look at me

Without the sun there is no light

Without the air there is no life

 

If there were only one thing in life I couldn't live without, what would it be?

Well, I suppose it would be the air I breathe

the air I use to love

the air I use to see the stars above

the air I use to laugh

the air I use to cry

the air I use to wonder why

All I need is the air I breathe

and everything else in between.
