What I Need - Orleans

Just give me the earth underneath my feet

And the sun up in the sky above

And let me eat from the fruit of the land

And stand beside the one I love

What I need

Is all I’m askin' for

What I need

I wouldn’t ask for more

It’s not greed

To ask for what you need

Oh no

Just let me drink until I quench my thirst

And fill my lungs with clean, fresh air

Let one star be mine alone

That I am free to follow anywhere

What I need

Is all I’m askin' for

What I need

I wouldn’t ask for any more

It’s not greed

To ask for what you need

Oh no

I wouldn’t ask for more

Than to know what I’m living for

I wouldn’t ask for more

'Cause men have been greedy

Too many times before

Just let me work and live my life in peace

'Cause I mean nobody ill

And let my sorrows carve out hollows

For my happiness to fill

What I need

Is all I’m askin' for

What I need

I wouldn’t ask for any more

It’s not greed

To ask for what you need

I said what I need

Is all I’m askin' for

What I need

I wouldn’t ask for any more

It’s not greed

To ask for what you need

Oh no
