all I need

all I need is a cup of strong coffee

to wake me up

all I need is myself to rely on

but that's not enough

all I need is a reason for living

a planted seed

to grow deep inside me

that's all I need

all I need is some kind of a future

to look forward to

all I need is my headstrong dreams

to pull me through

all I need is a pull-off band aid

in case I bleed

something to help me heal

is all I need

          don't worry about me

          I will be okay

          I need to have a plan in mind

          to make it through the day

all I need is some contact

with another human being

all I need is a way to run

far from the past I'm fleeing

all I need is to be in motion

a windblown tumbleweed

on the wild and open plains

that's all I need

all I need is some belief

that all will turn out right

all I need is a little hope

to guide me in the night

all I need is a helping hand

and then I will succeed

in this life I'm living

that's all I need
