about
Since I packed in my old life and decided just to play music, well, I'm not going to lie...the toughest part has been the relative poverty! I wrote this song after contemplating money to help me process my thoughts. Having been lucky enough to have experienced both wealth and poverty I now know that it doesn't make a difference to happiness.
lyrics
I just need a little cash for some food and gas, but I'm struggling
No permanent place to crash, and that's troubling me
A wiseman said that if you want to be free
First find peace in adversity
See these days as opportunities
To check what it is you truly need
Don't worry about no money
We don't need much to be living a good, good life
I don't need a big house, flash ride in the drive
Private jet, gold chains, giant plasma TVs
I don't need a hot tub in my own night club
It means nothing to me
On reflection all I need is some deep connection
And give back to the life that gave life to me
Life is so rich when we change the direction
Live with less and we set ourselves free
Don't worry about no money
We don't need much to be living a good, good life
Greed only ever kept souls in the dark
Every day ends with a question mark
How to get more to fill up this heart?
Better to walk as a beggar, live life as an art
Live with nothing but give with your heart
Check what we need and go back to the start
Don't worry about no money
We don't need much to be living a good, good life
