I want, I want, I want
Everytime, Everywhere I want
I want things, I want feelings
I want to be somewhere else

I want
Things that I cannot get
Feelings that I cannot feel
Places that I cannot go
There’s so much want inside

I want to be on top of the mountain
Without enduring the climb up
I want to buy that sports car
Without the years of work to pay for
I want everyone to love me
Without understanding or loving them back

I want peace
For myself and the world
But I don’t want to make peace with my neighbor

I want equality
For myself and everyone around the world
But I want my kids to do better than yours

I want to feel joy
That boundless burst of emotion
Of a drop of a water to quench my thirst
But I don’t want to walk through the desert

I want to be surrounded by friends
Yet I am full of fear
I only want a coin with one side
I only want a relationship with no risk

Isn’t that how life goes
From one state of want to another
Driven by desire
To seek pleasure
Run away from pain

Pleasure and pain
They are sides of the same coin
Don’t seek, don’t run
Be the stone
I flow with the stream
And go where I can
Where I can, is where I should
Path of pain to pleasure
Path of pleasure to pain

Hence I always seek
From what I want to run away
