Everything We Need
Embracing Life's Timely Bounty with Michael Tomlinson's 'Everything We Need'
Lyrics
In my life everything has a time
In life, everything has its own timing and season.
Every river running over was one day dry
Even the continuous flow of rivers will eventually cease at some point.
On a day like this honey how can we ever miss
On a day like today, it's hard to imagine missing out on anything.
We've got everything we need right now
We currently possess all that we require at this moment.
If we don't try loving we'll never know
If we don't make an effort to love, we'll never understand its significance.
Then we'd have nothing at all
Without love, our lives would be empty.
We could end up looking all over the world
Searching globally for something that is already present in our surroundings.
For what is right here in our yard
Appreciating what is right in our own backyard rather than seeking elsewhere.
In my life everything has a time
Reiteration that everything in life follows a specific timeline.
Every river running over was one day dry
Even abundant rivers may dry up at some point in time.
On a day like this honey how can we ever miss
On a beautiful day like today, it's challenging to feel any sense of lack.
We've got everything we need right now
Emphasizing that all essential elements are currently available to us.
There are so many places to go
While there are numerous destinations to explore...
But there's something to hanging around
...there's value in simply staying and enjoying the present moment.
If you could lay right here what a lovely thing
Expressing the joy of being in a particular place and savoring the experience.
I know the sun would never come down
Confident that the positive moment will endure.
In my life everything has a time
Reiterating the theme that everything in life has its own timing.
Every river running over was one day dry
Even the most overflowing rivers may experience a dry spell.
On a day like this honey how can we ever miss
On a day like today, it's hard to feel any sense of deprivation.
We've got everything we need right now
Asserting that all necessary things are currently within reach.
Well I act so tough but I'm not tough really
Acknowledging a contrast between external toughness and inner vulnerability.
When I look on love well I'm just afraid as any
Admitting fear and apprehension when it comes to matters of love.
I want you here and I love this feeling
Expressing a desire for closeness and enjoying the current emotional state.
Never been so near to all this love
Feeling an unprecedented proximity to profound love.
In my life everything has a time
Reiteration of the theme that everything in life has its own timing.
Every river running over was one day dry
Highlighting the transient nature of even the most abundant rivers.
On a day like this honey how can we ever miss
On a beautiful day like today, it's challenging to feel any sense of lack.
We've got everything we need right now
Emphasizing that all essential elements are currently available to us.
In my life everything has a time
Reiteration that everything in life follows a specific timeline.
Every river running over was one day dry
Even abundant rivers may dry up at some point in time.
On a day like this can I have a little kiss
On a day like today, a request for a simple expression of affection.
Then I'll have everything I need
Implying that a small gesture of love would complete the speaker's needs.
Yeah we'll have everything we need
Confidently asserting that they will have everything they need.
Yead we've got everything we need yeah
A final affirmation that the speaker currently possesses all necessary elements.
