ONLY DESIRE WHAT YOU HAVE Kate Rusby I was not born a queen or king, I have no house nor anything, In comfort none can equal me, I'm what they all would die to be. Walk in the sun stay in the light, And when we're done we'll take flight, Only desire what you have, Only desire what you have . . . My altar is the breath of life, For wisdom, grace and love I strive, While evil games the greedy play, There's only nature I obey . . . I'll have no check upon my glass, Let the hours of joy and laughter pass, Let night into the morning fold, Let a whole new day of life take hold . . . I'll journey on, I'll sing and dance, And the greedy ones can make their stance, With pockets for souls they'll never fill, With happy heart I'm smiling still . . .
(My thanks to Kate Rusby and friends.)
