Benjamin Karlinger - All I Want Is You

Some people look for material prosperity
While they live a life of emotional poverty
They don't even notice that they're in a quandary
Stuck in a greed that grows when it gets fed

The stuff they get high with is the burden that keeps them down
The smiles that they show - show that their inner faces frown
Their heavenly Jerusalem is an earthly shanty town
They have to live in a place they have fled

Don't need their silver and gold and I don't need their money
For there is a land flowing with milk and honey
Where I can have everything and more than that
Once I've given away everything instead
I don't want anything but you
I hope you want me too
For all I want is you

You are the obliteration of all my needs
You are the purification of all my deeds
For you protect them from being bad karmic seeds
The things you give are the things that you get

While they're speaking of love all I see is frustration
They're breaking each other's hearts on every occasion
Losing reality while trying to win the game
Drowned with atrocities on their way to fame
All I want is nothing at all but you
Don't want no things in lieu
All I want is you

Oh, my love is free as a bird in the sky
Oh my! Like a rose blooming not knowing why
I can't even remember the time I spent in Babylon
Since I' m on my way with you to Mount Zion
It's a pathless path that we are moving on
Since we don't carry weight we're apt to carry on

All of myself is all that will disappear
That's not really much, it is nothing to persevere
I have no fear, as long as you are with me
As long as I'm with you I don't care what will be
It's now I'm here and I am here with you
And that is all that's true
All I want is you
