lyrics
Take what you need
words and music by Hans Hauser
Take what you need
Don’t take what you want
If you had to choose, what would it be?
Don’t search your heart - Oh, let it all go
Nothing’s gonna change for you
Feeling the pressure on my chest,
the floor seems to hug me tight.
The scratching of my pencil
sounds like music from a simpler place.
With all that I’ve learned, with all that I know,
how did I get here – down, on the floor?
Take what you need
Don’t take what you want
If you had to choose, what would it be?
Don’t search your heart - Oh, let it all go
Nothing’s gonna change for you
What is my purpose, what is my fate,
what are my goals, is it already to late?
Where are my answers, where is my guide,
where can I flourish, where can I hide?
With all that I’ve learned, (with) all that I know,
how did I get here – down, on the floor?
You’re chasing the rabbit, but the rabbit is you
No one applauds, no one envies you
Your duties are fictitious, your sprit is hazed
The heart has been fooled in your early days
Take what you need
Don’t take what you want
If you had to choose, what would it be?
Don’t search your heart - Oh, let it all go
Nothing’s gonna change for you
