Song language: English
I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got |
| I’m walking through the desert |
| And I am not frightened although it’s hot |
| I have all that I requested |
| And I do not want what I haven’t got |
| I have learned this from my mother |
| See how happy she has made me |
| I will take this road much further |
| Though I know not where it takes me |
| I have water for my journey |
| I have bread and I have wine |
| No longer will I be hungry |
| For the bread of life is mine |
| I saw a navy blue bird |
| Flying way above the sea |
| I walked on and I learned later |
| That this navy blue bird was me |
| I returned a paler blue bird |
| And this is the advice they gave me |
| «You must not try to be too pure |
| You must fly closer to the sea» |
| So I’m walking through the desert |
| And I am not frightened although it’s hot |
| I have all that I requested |
| And I do not want what I haven’t got |
