Basic Human Needs - Ace of Cups, Wavy Gravy

And wouldn’t it be neat if the people that you meet had shoes upon their feet

and something to eat

and wouldn’t it be fine, now if all of human kind had shelter

Basic Human needs, basic human deeds, doing what comes naturally

Down in the garden, when no one is apart

Deep down in the garden, the garden of your heart

Wouldn’t it be grand if we all lend a hand so each one of us could stand on a

free piece of land

and wouldn’t it be thrilling if folks stopped their killing and started in

tilling the land

Basic Human Needs, basic human deeds, doing what comes naturally

Down in the garden, when no one is a apart

Deep down in the garden, the garden of your heart

Not just churches, not just steeples, give me peoples helping peoples

Help your self and work out till the stars begin to shout, thank god for

something to do

Wouldn’t it be daring if folks started sharing, instead of comparing,

what each other was wearing

And wouldn’t it be swell if people didn’t sell their mother earth

Basic Human needs, basic human deeds, doing what comes naturally

Down in the garden, when no one is apart

Deep down in the garden, the garden of your heart
