As long as I live

lyrics

As long as I live

I don't need everything I've got
And I sure don't have a lot
And when I look at all the things I'd like to see
I know they'll never belong to me
As long as I live
As long as I live

And I know just how it feels
When you don't own a set of wheels
But I can go to any place I’d like to run to
I can borrow any boat or bike I want
As long as I live
As long as I live

And all the blind can see
That you belong to me
You give me more than my head and heart can handle
You light up all my darkness, you always hold the candle
As long as I live
As long as I live

If you want to get more out of life
Don’t go all the way
You don’t need to have it all
No matter what they say
A little part of what they’re after’s just enough for me
When it’s hot it feels so good with one foot in the sea

And I know just how it feels
When you don't own a set of wheels
But I can go to any place I’d like to run to
I can borrow any boat or bike I want
As long as I live
As long as I live
