What do we want?

If I had everything I wanted 
Would I have it all? 

But what do you want in life? 
Not me 
Not him 
Not her 

What do you want? 

Where do you want to live 
Do you want to explore and adventure?
Or would you like to settle down early and stay in one place?

Would you follow the wind that blows on a dusty street
Following the tumble weeds as if they mark a path 
Each blowing in the wind 
Going to the same place 
Because that is where they all go 

Do you want to grow old near family and friends 
Or live alone but it's peaceful and quiet 

I would want to live on the east coast 
As if that makes up for the time 
I previously lost so far away 

And I want to grow up and grow old 
But I want to be able to look back 
And be happy about the moment 
I'm living in  

And deep down I truly want everything 
I could never have 
And I can never have 
Because within the strength 
Passion
And perseverance
Of mankind
In the end that is all we truly want
