Lyrics:

CHORUS

I want it all. 

VERSE

Look at you baby girl. Look at you.
Sleeping there in my arms. 
Are you real?
My girl, my baby girl, 
the things I feel 
Counting all the precious gifts 
that life could steal

CHORUS

I want it all.	

VERSE

Are you dreaming, baby girl? Or is your mind clear?
Are you back inside the womb - 
not a worry or a care?
I’m dreaming, baby girl, 
‘bout the road ahead of you.
all the places that you’ll go 
and all the things you’ll do.

BRIDGE

I know nothing’s promised. 
Every moment is a gift.
That I should just be present. 
All your days will run so swift.
I know that’s right. 
I tell myself 
not to want the things I do.
Don’t blink or you might miss it 
is good advice and true.

CHORUS

But I want it all.

I Want it All
