All I Need lyrics (MICHAEL MCDONALD/TOMMY SIMS)
LIKE A RIVER RUNNIN¡¯ TO THE SEA
THERE MUST BE A REASON FOR ALL THESE SHATTERED DREAMS
STARTS WITH OUR BELIEVING AND ENDS WITH OUR BACKS AGAINST THE WALLS
IF I¡¯M NOT CAREFUL I MIGHT CONVINCE MYSELF
THIS IS THE WAY IT¡¯S ALWAYS GONNA BE
SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE WONDERIN¡¯ JUST WHAT IT MEANS TO SURVIVE
SO I WONDER, AM I STRONG ENOUGH?
DO I HAVE THE STRENGTH I NEED TO CARRY ON?
ALL I¡¯M ASKIN¡¯ FOR IS THE PATH THAT¡¯S GONNA LEAD ME HOME
CHORUS:
ALL I NEED IS A SHININ¡¯ LIGHT AN OPEN DOOR
I¡¯M ASKIN¡¯ FOR NOTHIN¡¯ MORE THAN A LITTLE HOPE
ANOTHER MORNIN¡¯ STRANGE AS IT SEEMS
HERE ONCE AGAIN WITH ALL THESE BROKEN THINGS
THAT ONCE HUNG IN THE BALANCE BETWEEN THE EXTREMES OF MY LIFE
WITH THE WILL OF A RUNAWAY TRAIN
I TOOK MY CHANCES TIME AND TIME AGAIN
LEAVING NOTHIN¡¯ BUT WRECKAGE AND PAIN BEHIND
CHORUS:
ALL I NEED (IS) JUST ONE ANSWER I¡¯M LOOKIN¡¯ FOR
I¡¯M ASKIN¡¯ FOR NOTHIN¡¯ MORE¡
THAN A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW
ENOUGH THAT I MIGHT SEE
A VOICE TO CALL MY NAME
A PRAYER TO COMFORT ME
