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
