When I was young, oh no, I never thought twice |
|
About the beauty of the mother |
|
I've done my share of walking on her pretty face |
|
I took for granted what she offered |
|
And then one day I saw a photograph of Mars |
|
I saw a dead and barren planet |
|
And from that photograph I've come to realize |
|
That everything we really need is here |
|
You know it's all right here, everything is here |
|
Oh now, everything we really need is here |
|
I've read of men who travel far within themselves |
|
They seek the light for their direction |
|
They spend their whole lives searching for that inner space |
|
To bring them closer to perfection |
|
Now we may choose to journey high among the stars |
|
Or search within for our Creator |
|
But from our travels we will come to realize |
|
That everything we really need is here |
|
You know it's all right here, everything is here |
|
Oh, everything we really need is here |
|
Yes, it's all right here, everything is here |
|
Oh now, everything we really need is here |
|
Mmm, it's all right |
|
I've seen the forest where the big pines touch the sky |
|
I've heard the sound of wildlife calling |
|
I taste the sweetness from the fruit right on the trees |
|
I love the fragrance of her blossoms |
|
And as I touch my foot upon this fertile soil |
|
I feel the source of our creation |
|
Upon this planet I have come to realize |
|
Oh, that everything we really need is here |
|
You know it's all right here, everything is here |
|
Oh now, everything we really need is here |
|
Yes, it's all right here, everything is here |
|
Oh now, everything we really need is here |
|
It's all right, gonna be all right, it's all right here |
