All I need

what if I were on an island all alone?

With no way to write letters home.

Not with tellagram nor cellular phone.

What would be the one thing I would take along with me?

We all wonder what's the one thing that we can't live without

but there comes a time when you are down, and that one thing isnt going to help you out.

Because when you are desperate and in need

the thing that keeps you fighting when your heads already under water 

is not that one thing you would take with you to your island.

The things that keep you fighting are not the things that you think you need

but rather the things and the people.

That is what gives us strength when we find ourselves lost

or alone, or withought air.

If I was on that island, and without a way of calling home

I would bring somone with me, who without me, would be the one all alone.

Because the one thing I can't live without, are people who can't live without me.
