All I need


Just what is it that I need? 

Could it be a warning to heed?

No, it couldn't be that. 

And it certainly can't be a wooden bat

But, could it have to do with art? 

Maybe, maybe it could be I just need the songs in my heart. 

With those to keep me sane,

I can't be brought down even by the rain.

That is all I need. 

Not some warning to heed.
