Lyrics

(Source: I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got)

	I am 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 talkes me.

	I have water for my journey,
	I have bread & 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 & 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.
