Things, Want, Promises

I was digitalizing "Turkey Lurkey Time", but ultimately this lyric has been really speaking to me.

Tell me how long must I keep
WANTING THINGS,
Needing things, when I have so much.
There are many men who have much less than me,
Day by day they make their way.
And they find more in life thank I can see.
Tell me,
When will I learn to resist WANTING THINGS,
Touching things that say "do not touch."
People that I meet seem to think I am strong,
They don't see inside of me.
So they don't know I'm weak and often wrong.
Tell me,
Why must I keep
WANTING THINGS,
Needing things that just can't be mine!
(yes, WANTING THINGS, that just can't... be... mine...)
