Bettye Lavette - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got lyrics

I'm walking through the desert And I am not frightened although it's hot I have all that I requested And I do not want what I haven't got I have learned this from my mother See how happy she has made me I will take this road much further Though I know not where it takes me I have water for my journey I have bread and I have wine No longer will I be hungry For the bread of life is mine I saw a navy blue bird Flying way above the sea I walked on and I learned later That this navy blue bird was me I returned a paler blue bird And this is the advice they gave me "You must not try to be too pure You must fly closer to the sea" So I'm walking through the desert And I am not frightened although it's hot I have all that I requested And I do not want what I haven't got
