Yeah
Hey, hey hey
I’m a dreamer, I’m a gypsy
I’m a river passing bye
Got to run to keep up with me
I’m the sailor in the sky
And if I keep my heart open
If I wear it on my sleeve
No matter what life throwing
Nothing’s ever gonna get to me
Hey, hey, hey….
All I need is what I’ve got
My soul is free and I’ve got more than enough
I believe in love and I’ll never stop
That’s why all I need is what I’ve got…
Let it row, row, row, right off my back
Let it flow, flow, flow, that’s where I’m at… [x2]
I’m working up to something
Don’t drag me down with you
We’re all looking for that one thing
It’s gonna pull us through
And I don’t keep my heart open
Even if it starts to bleed
And all the daggers that you’re throwing
It’s gonna bounce right off of me
Hey, hey, hey….
All I need is what I’ve got
My soul is free and I’ve got more than enough
I believe in love and I’ll never stop
That’s why all I need is what I’ve got…
Let it row, row, row, right off my back
Let it flow, flow, flow, that’s where I’m at… [x2]
Oh yeah I release, and I set free
Giving fear inside my steer
And I give in, and I let out
Overthrowing any doubt
This is my sanctuary…
All I need is what I’ve got
My soul is free and I’ve got more than enough
I believe in love and I’ll never stop
That’s why all I need is what I’ve got… [x2]
Let it row, row, row, right off my back
Let it flow, flow, flow, that’s where I’m at… [x2]
