You Have Everything
words and music by Mitch McVicker
I do tricks just to try to get your attention.
It's a waste of time, but still I try to make an impression.
I spend time wondering just what I can bring your way.
I know you must be laughing at the foolish games I play.
Chorus
'Cause you have everything.
There's nothing you could ever need.
There's only one thing I can give to you and that's me.
I'm your kid, so why would I think
that I can become even more?
All I got is this heart with broken parts
and some skeletons behind the door.
But somehow you're pleased with
whatever I can bring your way.
Somehow you are smiling and that doesn't make sense to me.
Chorus
You have everything but what you want is me.
Chorus
You have everything but what you want is me.

"This song was developed on the heels of reading Malachi's wonderings about what he should present to God. He was trying to figure out if he could give houses, land, or even cows to God. But in the end, he was stumped. Though I am too, there is something."
