I don' want a palace with golden lines
I don' want a limo driving me to a stage
don' want million men calling ma name
don' want ma name on television screens
don' want statues made for ma name
don' want ladies dying for ma fame
A perfect life I do not seek
for trophies will gather dust in time
n' applause will fade as it flies
there will be a river with sandy shores
I will have a tree with grape n' vines
beside that there be my house
may she be the mistress, best friend and spouse
with deers and rabbits and hippos and ants
with vegan lions and bears and hyenas
mermaids swimming dancing and chilling
may there be some neighbors wise
all are nice and nights all bright
we sing around the fire so high
we sing 'till it fades in sky
life to the fullest or the simplest
or to find the meaning, a beginning
may be the simplest, still unsure..............
