From the recording Virtues

Lyrics

I got no mansion on the hill no fancy car to drive
Just a small room with a window where the dreams can come alive
No diamond rings no shiny things no gold to weigh me down
I'm grateful for these empty spaces where freedom can be found

No headlines screaming out my name no flashing neon lights
A simple life with open skies and peaceful starry nights
No fancy clothes no velvet ropes to keep the world at bay
I'm grateful for these empty places where I can walk away

All the things I don't possess they keep my heart so light
No burdens of the world's excess no shadows in my sight
I'm richer than a king can be with nothing in my hands
Grateful for the things I lack they help me understand

No crowded rooms no loud applause no cameras in my face
A quiet path where I can laugh and move at my own pace
No trophies weighing down my shelves or medals I must win
I'm grateful for these empty hearts who love me from within

No chaos calls no urgent needs no schedules running tight
Just moments free to simply be and mornings turning bright
No pressure cooker boiling hot no deadlines to be met
I'm grateful for these empty thoughts they help me to forget

In this world so filled with want where more is never enough
It's in the empty spaces friends where we can find the love
So let the riches slip away let go of all the greed
Grateful for things we don't possess they fill the space we need
