Bare Necessities
The C.R.S. Players Lyrics

Look for the bare necessities
Focus on the things you need to survive and thrive in life

The simple bare necessities
It doesn't take much to be happy and fulfilled

Forget about your worries and your strife
Don't let your problems and concerns overwhelm you

I mean the bare necessities
I'm talking about the most basic and essential things in life

Old Mother Nature's recipes
The natural world provides everything we need to survive

That brings the bare necessities of life
Nature provides us with what we need to survive and be happy

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
No matter where I go or what I do

I couldn't be fonder of my big home
I love my natural environment and feel comfortable in it

The bees are buzzin' in the tree
The natural world is full of activity and life

To make some honey just for me
The natural world provides resources that sustain and nourish us

When you look under the rocks and plants
If you explore the natural world up close, you'll find hidden treasures

And take a glance at the fancy ants
Even tiny creatures have unique and interesting qualities

Then maybe try a few
Consider experiencing new things and taking risks

The bare necessities of life will come to you
If you focus on what you need most in life, you will find it

They'll come to you!
You will attract what you need if you have the right attitude

That's why a bear can rest at ease
Animals in the wild are content with the basic resources they have

With just the bare necessities of life
They don't need much to be happy and comfortable

Now when you pick a pawpaw
When you gather food or resources from the natural world

Or a prickly pear
Even if it requires some effort or risk

And you prick a raw paw
If you make a mistake or experience a setback

Next time beware
Be cautious and learn from your mistakes

Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
Avoid making mistakes that can cause harm or difficulty

When you pick a pear
When you gather resources or pursue opportunities

Try to use the claw
Use your resources and skills in a smart and effective way

But you don't need to use the claw
Sometimes you don't need to exert extra effort or take extra risks

When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
When you find a valuable or rewarding opportunity

Have I given you a clue ?
Do you understand the lesson here?

So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Don't stress or become anxious

Fall apart in my backyard
Take some time to decompress and enjoy the simple pleasures in life

'Cause let me tell you something little britches
Listen up, young one

If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
If you work too hard and don't take breaks

You're working too hard
You need to find a better balance in your life

And don't spend your time lookin' around
Don't waste time searching for things that aren't important or necessary

For something you want that can't be found
Don't obsess over things that are out of reach or unrealistic

When you find out you can live without it
When you realize that you don't really need something to be happy

And go along not thinkin' about it
When you move on and focus on what's truly important

I'll tell you something true
Here's an important life lesson to remember

The bare necessities of life will come to you
If you focus on what's essential, you will find what you need

Look for the bare necessities
Focus on the most important things in life

The simple bare necessities
The things that truly matter in life are often the most basic

Forget about your worries and your strife
Don't let stress and complications dominate your life

I mean the bare necessities
I'm talking about what's truly important for survival and happiness

That's why a bear can rest at ease
Animals in nature are content with what they need to survive

With just the bare necessities of life
You don't need much to be happy and comfortable

The bare necessities of life will come to you
If you focus on what's really important, you will find it
