Simple Things

When you look into the mirror Are you proud of what you see? Do you take it all for granted? Do you have all that you need? Now I don't want to tell you That I've heard it all before 'Cause I've been taking More than I've been giving And underneath my shadow There's so much that lies in store Simple things Make it all worth living Looking for life without sorrow Love without pain So you've built these walls around you To protect all that you own You have kept out what's important How's it feel to be all alone? I don't want to tell you That I've heard it all before 'Cause I've been taking More than I've been giving And underneath my shadow There's so much that lies in store Simple things Make it all worth living I don't claim to know the answers I just know I could do much more No excuses anymore Now I've opened up my window Hear the children on the street Love has stolen all the bitterness And sent it off with the breeze
