Simple Things

about

Written to celebrate my 50th birthday (31.1.23), this song shares one of the most valuable lessons I have learned in my years as a human here.

lyrics

I know its all relative everyone with their own way to live
But take the time to simplify see how you can reach the sky
The extra weight of all this stuff weighs us down, stuck the ground
Its time to let go and make it light drop the story and take to flight
The simple things in life bring the greatest joy
The simple things in life

A sweet loving smile on a stranger’s face or better yet a friend
Making time to start a new book or reaching the end
A kind kiss hello a teary hug good bye
A hungry look in my lover’s eye
The simple things in life bring the greatest joy
The simple things in life

Simplify Minimize Realize life is temporary
Look in my eyes Hold my hand Understand what is necessary
Is Love

It doesn't have to be so complicated Social media is over rated
The stories we tell are out dated but carry truth not to be negated
Live and learn each lesson on the way let go of what others may say
Life defines who you really are not those who judge from afar
The simple things in life bring the greatest joy
The simple things in life

Watching the daytime dance into night being told it’s gonna be allright
Seasons changing Summer to fall Feeling my soul connected to all
Breath coming in Breath going out
The miracle of life From seed to sprout
The simple things in life bring the greatest joy
The simple things in life

Simplify Minimize Realize life is temporary
Look in my eyes Hold my hand Understand what is necessary
Is Love

Break it down to the elemental Carry in your heart what is sentimental
Life is unknown, pure potential Do we ever know what is accidental?
In harmony with the earth and the sea Flowers trees, Birds & bees
The moon & sun, the stars in the sky there’s so much more than meets the eye
The simple things in life bring the greatest joy
The simple things in life

Simplify Minimize Realize life is temporary
Look in my eyes Hold my hand Understand what is necessary
Is Love
