Lyrics

Simple Things

Simple things as walking serene,
Wise about the children's play
Somebody mentioned me that the ozone
Layer is broken and political affairs
Are translated in a rare Martian dialect
And their word means a free problem
TV news confirms the things that I've lost
Today I just want to share a cap of wine
Hearing the voices that I love
Coming out from a dream, woke up in a
Collective bizzare madness
Welcome, welcome to a place where money
Is worth more than life
Security based in a gun, the power doesn't
Think in masses
Just remember, the child recognizes his mother
By her smile
Linking the past with future listening of their loughs
Educating talent in calm and character in tempest,
No part of future poll, giving every new day a better
Future full of simple thing
Woke up in a collective sharing dream
Welcome, welcome to the race where man is worth
More than enterprise
Security based in a hand, the power is just a word
And love is ONLY one, only one, only one
