You try to move with ease

When all the jungle roars

You try to find a little peace

But all you read is war

Now you don’t fool me

I see how it wears you down

It’s a noble try

That smile on your face

But your heart is bound

 

Living a simple life in a complicated world

It’s like walking on a high wire

While the crowd below you hurls

All those things that are meant to shake you

Meant to break you make you fall

Living a simple life it’s not such a simple thing

 

You tell me it’s a challenge

To keep away the frown

And sometimes you’re so off balance

`cause your world is up side down

what you know is right

they tell you it’s wrong

and all that’s left is money and might

so you take your truth underground

 

Simple thing, not such a simple thing

Walking on a high wire

Not such a simple thing

 

Don’t you feel like steppin‘ out

We could use a little rain

The sky sheds holy water

Cool tears on your pain

It’s a very very precious thing

Believing in you, you‘re believing in me

Believing in something beyond us both

These simple things could set us free

 

Simple thing
