A driving toe-tapper of a song that echoes the influence of early period Midnight Oil coupled with Hunters & Collectors. Lyrically, the song speaks of living a simpler existence, explores the abandonment of materialism and the celebration and gratitude of life in the present moment.
lyrics
We don’t have much
In the way of
Material things
Someone told me once
You don’t need to be rich
To be queens and kings
It’s not very much
But it seems like a lot
When I’m standing next to you
And see what we’ve got
It’s not very much
But it seems like a lot
When I’m standing next to you
And see what we’ve got – yeah
There is no sense
Buying things to love
To dread losing them
Let’s sell our things
And keep our thoughts, our hopes and dreams
Reset – and start again
It’s not very much
But it seems like a lot
When I’m standing next to you
And see what we’ve got
It’s not very much
But it seems like a lot
When I’m standing next to you
And see what we’ve got – yeah
