If my cardigan worn, keeps me warm in the winter.
If my faithful umbrella, from rain, gives me shelter.
If my favourite soup gives my hunger release,
or my old, dripping tap, which can still quench my thirst, I can say I have all that I need.

As for designer labels on clothes, does it suit her?
Can honestly say they are not fit for me,
I can cover my body with colourful clothes,
I can say I have all that I need.

to earn my degree?
Oh, there was I,
in my Porsche,
I was nobody's fool,
nobody but me!

Or a phone call from our kids who want to succeed,

thanks to Christ,
I have all that I need.
