I'd like to tell you what I saw,
the sleeping dreams of four-years-old:
I stood upon the stage so tall,
sea of people floating down below
And farther than my eyes could see,
disastrous hearts were turned toward me
well from the center of my beam,
the purest love was flowing freely
If I could touch one lonely soul,
If I could heal and be so bold
To be a star, to be a light,
set one heart on fire;
that's all I ever wanted
That's all I want,
that's all I ever really wanted...
That's all I ever wanted
If it's wrong for me to want to change the world with what I got
let me make my own mistakes,
that's a chance I'm gonna take
If I'm right, I saw you all,
in my dreams so long ago
And if you're broken, you should know,
I'm here, you're not alone
If I could touch one lonely soul,
If I could heal and be so bold
To be a star, to be a light,
set one heart on fire;
that's all I ever wanted
That's all I want,
that's all I ever really wanted...
That's all I ever wanted
star light, star bright, I'm gonna make it right
star light, star bright, I'll be their star tonight
star light, star bright, yes I may, yes I might
alright, alright, I'm gonna make it right
If I could touch one lonely soul,
If I could heal and be so bold
To be a spot, to be a light,
set one heart on fire;
that's all I ever wanted
That's all I want,
that's all I ever really wanted...
that's all I ever wanted
"All I Want"

I came across this song when visiting Jenny Blake's Life After College site, and I instantly fell in love with it. Since I heard it, I've been listening to it on repeat. To listen to this song on YouTube, click here. "Words To Live By" is a segment on Positively Present that features my favorite quote or lyrics from the week. Every Sunday I post a quote or lyrics that have inspired me with the hope that they'll inspire you too.
