Everything I Need

I've seen the depths of New York City Crash down on me, renting prosperity I'm a seed longing to become a tree A butterfly learning to use its wings And I found inside Everything I need to survive I wonder why this long winding road is mine And I try anything I can to get by Anything that keeps me alive Everything I need to survive So many lifetimes So many goodbyes So many hard times Pave the way for the goldmine I ride this big wave and rolling tide I glide through life's uncertain skies And I found inside Everything I need to survive I wonder why this long winding road is mine And I try anything I can to get by Anything that keeps me alive Everything I need to survive Look into my eyes I wish I could look in my eyes See through the disguise The body lies I'm just light in a body finding Vibrations of the lucky tyrants I'm trying to cure this nonsense Caution to the wind Prepare to ascend and begin Because lives just pretend Life's what you make it Life's doing great yeah Life's what you make it This lifetime I chose to rhyme Time's running out better wake your brother Better shake your sister, be with your third eye See with your heart, living starts in the part Where the heart meets the mind, let the heart guide Let spirit find, a way to release A way to face death and disease Face crushed economies Face mass murder and thieves Face treason and it's just my face in the mirror That's facing me We choose to fear and not see We choose to hide behind screens And rant about Tinder and apps that don't work And Facebook and Snapchat and the babes that can twerk Well, I'll tell you now changes are coming around Live in the present because the time is now And I found inside Everything I need to survive I wonder why this long winding road is mine And I try anything I can to get by Anything that keeps me alive Everything I need to survive I'm just light in a body finding Vibrations of the lucky tyrants I'm trying to cure this nonsense Caution to the wind Prepare to ascend and begin Because lives just pretend Life's what you make it I'm just light in a body finding Vibrations of the lucky tyrants I'm trying to cure this nonsense Oh, caution to the wind Oh, prepare to ascend and begin Because lives just pretend Life's what you make it Life's doing great yeah Life's doing great yeah Life's what you make it Life's what you make it Life's what you make it Life's what you make it Life's doing great yeah I've seen the heights of New York City
