All I Need

I asked for strength and I got troubles
to get me straight and strong
I asked for wisdom I got problems
it taught me right from wrong
I asked for courage and I got dangers
to get me through my fear
I asked questions, I got silence.
It taught me how to hear.

I asked for love and I got strangers
that needed a helping hand,
I asked for mercy, I got an old friend
that needed another chance
I asked for beauty and I got to see the world
through the eyes of a child
I asked for understanding
and got to see an old one smile.

I got the world in a raindrop.
I got the promise in a seed.
I got all I wanted
when I got all I need.

And when I asked for years,
I got moments instead
And when I asked a feast
well, I got my daily bread.
I asked wealth and I got work
and the hands to make my pay.
I asked for truth I got a lady
who stands beside me all the way.

I got the world in a raindrop
I got the promise in a seed
I got all I wanted
when I got all I need.

I got all I wanted
when I got all I need.
