What I Need

i need a new word to wish someone good luck

i need a way to lift a middle finger without saying, "f*ck

i need a way to turn a decade into a year

i need a way to embrace tomorrow without clinging to fear

i need a way to want without having to need

i need a way to grow without having to plant seed

i need a way to love

i need a way to change a push to a shove

i need a way to not have to scratch every itch

i need a new way to jump over a ditch

i need a way to visit the dentist without having to twitch

i need a new start

i need a bigger heart

i need a way to cross oceans that won't part

i need a way to cut a silent fart

i need a way to always be alert

i need a way to stay clean in life's dirt

i need a way to attract without having to flirt

i need a direct line to god

i need a way to seal a deal with nothing but a wink and a nod

i need a way to summon an army of angels as far as the eye can see

i need a golden key

most of all, i need a way to simply be me

Dear Pete
I think it's catchy! Not only the music which I'm listening to now, but all those needs as well.... how did you think of all of those? I think we are all needy in unique ways.... otherwise we would just be automatons!!! To need, one must have emotions as well...we all want to feel we belong... and to feel we are needed as well!! Bravo!
Warmly, B

I was feeling this way lately, read like someone read my mind instead.
“ need a way to grow without having to plant seed” loved this line. This is like an anthem!
