Cannot Have Everything That We Want

We cannot have everything that we want in life We cannot have at the same time a young wife And a gorgeous girlfriend at the very same time Oh! That would be a mortal sin, a major crime. We cannot have the ice cream and all of the flavors Nobody on earth has everything and all the glitters Except Mother Nature who possesses all the flowers And God who owns all from the sky to the deep waters. We can never have everything that we want out of here We need to feel blessed with what we possess my dear Friends. Be happy that we have a great health right now. Even too much of a good thing can be bad or detrimental If you think I am lying; go ask a buffalo or a ravenous cow On this earth, we are all immigrants, and nobody is eternal.
