Everything I Need (free music download)

A few years ago I wrote this song and recorded it on my first CD Out of the Blue. I recorded this song with a full band and I sang and played alto sax on it (I bet you didn't know I play a MEAN alto sax)! In the music industry, they call this song "a list song". I simply made a list of all things I was thankful for and created a song from my list. There are lots of things I want and desire, but I can humbly say (thank you God) I Got Everything I Need.

During this season of gratitude I thought I would share it with you. If you would like an free Mp3 of this song for your ipod, or music player simply go to my website www.claudiacarawan.com and click on the Free Music Link at the top of the Home Page. The lyrics follow. I truly believe we all have ...everything we need.

Everything I Need 
I may only have a five in my pocket
But I feel content and I'm glad I got it…oooh
I got everything I need
Abundant treasures I may not posses
Despite it all, I found happiness
I feel rich and that's everything I need
My philosophy may appear a little strange
But I can't measure the good I got
with dollars and small change
I got everything I need

Been on top of the world and I've been down and out
Took a few years, but I know what life's about
I found love and it's the real thing
It's not the big bang on the 4th of July
It's quiet and humbling like a baby's sigh
I know love and it 's everything I need
I got somebody loving me just as sure as he is able
I've got my friends and family sitting round my kitchen table
That's everything I need

When my dreams and desires
Push me on to get more
I try to remember what I got I'm thankful for
I got everything I need I got a song to sing and I got a soaring spirit
I got a band to play my song and I got people to hear it
That's everything I need.

I Got Everything I Need
I Got Everything I Need

I got the love of my friends and family, I got angels in heaven watching over me and that’s everything
If I lost it all and I was all alone, I know my faith would lead me home, I got everything
If happiness would be a crime, I would gladly serve my time, I got everything
