I Don't Need

Don't need to be heard
I need to be quiet
I don't need to vent
I need to be silent
I don't need to rant
I need just to be still
I don't need to make believe
I need the real

I don't need the TV
What I need is sight
I don't need a megaphone
I need the light
I don't need to charge ahead
I need to sit
I don't need to keep fighting
I need to quit

To open up my heart
Open up my eyes and see
Lay my burdens down
Lay my weapons down
And just be

I don't need to struggle
I just need to kneel
I don't need to numb the pain
I need to feel
I don't need to speak
I just need to hear
I don't need to hurt no one
I need to heal

To open up my heart
Open up my eyes and see
Lay my burdens down
Lay my weapons down
And just be

I don't need to protest
I need to transform
Don't need to accuse
I need to be reborn
Don't need to be caught up
In delusions so grand
I don't need to know
I need to understand
