All I Ask of You
Richard Harvey and Friends Lyrics

Though we glorify the art of self sabotage in short
Although we often celebrate and indulge in self-destructive behaviors for brief moments of satisfaction,

We need to draw a line for some motions to abort
We must establish boundaries and cease certain actions to prevent negative consequences.

Seeking refuge in our love I'll find shelter in my own
When I turn to my personal relationships, I can find safety and comfort within myself.

On a path of distant visions roam the open road alone
I am traveling down a path towards far-off aspirations without anyone by my side.

Heading all up the east coast and scrambled through the west
I have traveled extensively throughout the eastern and western parts of the country.

I need to leave this home that leaves ambitions so distressed
I must depart this place as it discourages and inhibits my attempts to achieve my goals.

The chemicals coming natural in knowing what I am
By truly understanding myself, I exude a genuine aura which cannot be artificially replicated.

Animate what you have got now streaming far from the plan
Embody your current circumstances as they have diverged from what you originally intended.

Chanting I don't ever want to live a lie
Repeatedly expressing my desire to lead a truthful life.

Just to do things right and claim what's mine
Acting with integrity and taking ownership of what I deserve.

Intentions are a virtue
Holding good intentions is virtuous and admirable.

We'll never change what we pursue
We will remain steadfast in striving towards our aspirations.

And I've got friends that stand by my side
I have a support system comprised of loyal friends.

To help me navigate this wicked ride
They assist me in navigating the tumultuous journey of life.

We could stand for this together
We can unite and strive for our shared beliefs as a collective.

And activate our philosophies
We will put our beliefs and principles into action.

So hold fast and hold on tight
Remain firm and resolute during times of tribulation.

Imbue yourself with confidence while fingers tend to pry
Maintain confidence and composure even when faced with attempts to destabilize or undermine you.

And you will find
If you stay strong and persevere,

Relief behind the strength you've possessed this whole time
You will eventually feel relief and satisfaction when you realize you had the strength to overcome all along.

Take the climb we'll fight against
We will confront and resist,

The mountain stood before us full of hate and ignorance
The uphill battle consisting of bigotry and intolerance in front of us.

We'll go and take our stand
We will courageously stand up for what we believe in.

Our unity in numbers will conquer hand in hand
Through banding together as a group, we can be victorious.

Through the thick and the thin
Through all circumstances and challenges,

Our intentions are a virtue
Our intentions are noble and righteous.

They help me navigate this wicked ride
My friends aid me in traversing the difficult journey of life.

And activate our philosophies
We will carry out our beliefs and values in action.
