David P. Stevens - Have Plenty lyrics

[Verse 1: Timothy Welbeck (formerly known as Red Baron)] It would seem the life we most want is the one we don't live We throw fits jonesing to keep up with the Jones And shape our lives, to live the way the Jones live We want the Jones' home, we want the Jones' kids We don't know who a Jones is Yet we cleave to the hope that what's theirs is ours for us to go get And when we go get, all of the things the Jones get It will be the very day that all of our goals end But there is no end to this most embarra**ing pursuit When I am only doing better when I'm doing better than you We forgot it's our possessions that are weighing us down They leave a burden on our shoulders and keep our feet on the ground But we lay our dreams in nests, knowing in fact They hatch, then they go and take an orbital path Fall and crash, then begin eluding our grasp We may get what we reached for, but we lose what we had What do you have [Hook: Tomeka Carroll] We have what we don't want We want what we don't have With you I have everything I need I have plenty, I have plenty (repeat) [Verse 2: Timothy Welbeck (formerly known as Red Baron)] I'm told our days are often full, but are rarely fulfilling Rarely are thrilling, you can say that barely we're living Running endlessly to stack all of our cares to the ceiling We're obsessed with what cherish and cherish what we are getting Forgetting none of it was with us there in the beginning And forgetting none of it will be with us there in the ending We brought nothing into this world, we take so much from it It is ours for a moment, then the generation coming But we pa** pieces of earth, believing the gra** is greener We're not glad for what we have, not even glad for we were Imprisoned in picket fences, we never see and believe We risk what's most important for the more fleeting of things Knowing the richest is the one who has the need of the least If I have need of anything, I have need of the King Even when what I want isn't even within my reach It is with Him I have everything that I need I have plenty [Hook: Tomeka Carroll] We have what we don't want We want what we don't have With you I have everything I need I have plenty, I have plenty (repeat) [Outro: Tomeka Carroll] With you I have everything that I need You are the air I breathe, the life I lead I love you, I love you I need you, I thank you For everything You've done for me Lord I give You everything (c) 2009
