All I Need


The one thing I can’t live without I can’t exist, without the people that made me this way Every day they pray That I won’t be lead astray They see me at my worst And the times I feel like I could burst They see me at my best And still they love me deep in their chest To my family I look like gold And I still will, even when I grow old They’ve watched me mature And yet they endure Though all my gripping and complaining They still find themselves explaining That they love me so very much And they’ll always be there as my crutch.
