Have It All
May you have auspiciousness and causes of success
May you have the confidence to always do your best
May you take no effort in your being generous
Sharing what you can, nothing more nothing less
May you know the meaning of the word happiness
May you always lead from the beating in your chest
May you be treated like an esteemed guest
May you get to rest, may you catch your breath
And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows
And may the road less paved be the road that you follow
Well here's to the hearts that you're gonna break
Here's to the lives that you're gonna change
Here's to the infinite possible ways to love you
I want you to have it
Here's to the good times we're gonna have
You don't need money, you got a free pass
Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you
I want you to have it all
Oh! I want you to have it all
I want you to have it
I want you to have it all
May you be as fascinating as a slap bracelet
May you keep the chaos and the clutter off your desk
May you have unquestionable health and less stress
Having no possessions though immeasurable wealth
May you get a gold star on your next test
May your educated guesses always be correct
And may you win prizes shining like diamonds
May you really own it each moment to the next
And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows
And may the road less paved be the road that you follow
Well here's to the hearts that you're gonna break
Here's to the lives that you're gonna change
Here's to the infinite possible ways to love you
I want you to have it
Here's to the good times we're gonna have
You don't need money, you got a free pass
Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you
I want you to have it all
Oh, I want you to have it all
I want you to have it
I want you to have it all
Oh, I want you to have it all
All you can imagine
All, no matter what your path is
If you believe it then anything can happen
Go, go, go raise your glasses
Go, go, go you can have it all
I toast you
Here's to the hearts that you're gonna break
Here's to the lives that you're gonna change
Here's to the infinite possible ways to love you
I want you to have it
Here's to the good times we're gonna have
You don't need money, you got a free pass
Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you
I want you to have it all
Oh, I want you to have it all
I want you to have it
I want you to have it all
Here's to the good times we're gonna have
Here's to you always making me laugh
Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you
I want you to have it all
I absolutely loved Jason Mraz back in high school and college days when he popped on the scene with The Remedy. I absolutely loved You and I Both and then I’m Yours. There's something about his music that always makes me so happy. It's so uplifting and feel good. His voice is so soothing and the melodies so catchy and just exudes happiness. I loved Lucky and a few years ago he did Christmas Valentine which I fell in LOVE with and waited forever for it to come to Spotify. I kept playing it endlessly on YouTube til it did.
I haven't listened to him in a while so I popped him on my Spotify the other day and I'm annoyed I didn't hear this song Have It All sooner. I've been playing all his songs on repeat all week since but this one is definitely a mood. It perfectly describes how I feel about my girlfriends, my best friends, my closest friends and family. I always want them to know I'm rooting for them, even if our visions and paths do not align, even when we don't see each other as often as we would like as we get older and the time we have together grows less and less.
I've learned through the years that sometimes you have to let people go on their own journeys, they have to experience the good bad and ugly for themselves. You can't tell them x is a bad idea because sometimes they have to go through it to know. I read something earlier that makes it make sense for lack of a better term for it. Sometimes the things in life that we think we want, we need to just go through it to realize we don't really want or need it. Nobody can really tell us otherwise. It's like wanting a brand new car and obsessing over it for years and then when you finally get it, you realize you can totally live without it, but it's a hard thing to come to that conclusion without experiencing it.
And the same goes for me. I’ve wanted and done a lot of dumb things in my life but they're all lessons I had to learn for myself. Someone simply ”warning” you isn't always the best way. In retrospect you always say “I wish someone has told me xyz,” but would you have listened to them anyway? Human nature is always stubborn, rebellious and defiant because we always think we know better or that it’ll turn out different for us. There are reasons these are lessons we must learn.
But back to my main point. Regardless of the choices we make, the paths we choose, the people we become, the lives we lead, when it comes to those who matter to me, I always want the best for them and wish the best for them.
Just because our goals are not always the same doesn't mean I don’t want them to still kill it and succeed.
I want you to have it all.💖
