Paradise 02:47
Well I think that paradise is right around the corner I think it might be nice, maybe a little warmer I think that there's an ocean, maybe a little sand There's probably a pretty girl there holding my hand And I'm laying in my hammock cuz I got nothin to do A list of priorities, that'd be something new I do what I want, I don't keep track of time I don't ever worry cuz everything's already fine And I just want to be Carefree No I don't want you to worry Cuz I just wanna be I wanna be carefree Well it has nothing to do with being richer than kings All I wanna do is just live within my means I'll be satisfied if I can fulfill my dreams Find that pretty girl to be right there next to me I wanna see the world, wanna play my guitar Meet lots of good people, and make it really far Makin people happy is all I really want Make them forget their problems as they sing along And I just want to be Carefree No I don't want you to worry Cuz I just wanna be I wanna be carefree Oh just be carefree Dont you worry bout a thing Don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry now Don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry now Don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry now Don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry Don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry bout a thing.

Justify 02:09
Take a look around and tell me what you see Are we being everything that we could be In our own minds we're legendary But we don't take no responsibility And you know that we're gonna find a way To justify what occurred yesterday. Sometimes it don't go our way it's easy to lose hope That ship has sailed but we could get our own boat Ask you if you want to go you say that you don't know But the tide is going out so we kinda have to go And you know that we're gonna find a way To justify what occurred yesterday. Sing with me, sing with me now Don't pretend like you don't know how Cuz I know that you can sing so loud Cuz when you thought I wasn't there I heard you singin in the shower And you know that we're gonna find a way To justify what occurred yesterday.

Why is greed and hunger more prevalent Than spreading love, and sharing what we have Why is who you know and what you say More relevant than making sure that we make today Better than the last, better than the past If we fix all our mistakes and it's the best we ever had Better than the last, better than the past If we fix all our mistakes and it's the best we ever had Sit there with a figure by our side On the side of the road we're just waiting for a ride To a better place Put on a smiling face and just wait Sit there with a figure by our side On the side of the road we're just waiting for a ride To a better place Put on a smiling face and just wait Why do we feel the need to beat each other over the head To make sure that we heard what it was that was said Why do we sit here and we're spending all our time Wishin someone would make it better, someone would make it fine Make it better than the last, better than the past If we fix all our mistakes and it's the best we ever had If it's better than the last, better than the past And then we fix all our mistakes well it's the best we ever had. Sit there with a figure by our side On the side of the road we're just waiting for a ride To a better place Put on a smiling face and just wait Sit there with a figure by our side On the side of the road we're just waiting for a ride To a better place Put on a smiling face and just wait

All We Need 04:57
Well lately I've been thinkin about what we really need And I'll tell you one thing it's not everything it seems We fill our hearts with all these useless things And there's no, no more room for love So why do we just go out and we try to get some more Of these things that we don't need til it's coming out our doors I've been tryin to figure it out, tryin to make sense of all of this somehow Lately I've been thinkin about what it is that I believe And I'll tell you one thing it's not everything I see Cuz I can never tell if it's real or in a dream At least, most of the time And when we gonna figure out that we're really all just the same Instead of pointing fingers finding somebody to blame I'm tired of this game Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love It's all we need, it's all we need Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love It's all we need, it's all we need Well I don't need much, just a place in the sand Where I can sit right next to you just holding your hand You're hand And girl when I'm with you, I don't need to breathe I am looking at you and you're everything I see I see Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love It's all we need, it's all we need So come a little closer, all we need is love I just wanna show you all we need is love So baby come on over all we need is love It's all we need, it's all we need Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love Oh oh oh oh oh oh all we need is love It's all we need, it's all we need So come a little closer, all we need is love I just wanna show you, all we need is love So baby come on over, all we need is love It's all we need, it's all we need So come a little closer, I'll give you some love I just wanna show you, all we need is love So baby come on over, I'll give you some love It's all we need, it's all we need So come a little closer, I'll give you some love Baby come on over, I'll give you good love I just wanna show you, all we need is love It's all we need, it's all we need
