Lyrics

I want to, I want to lead the simple life
And nest like the sparrow and the wren
Cause up from these simple things springs happiness
Just like water from my well, from my well

I want to, I want to lead the simple life
And wake up, wake up to greet each morning like a prayer
At least to be thankful for the little things
The rising sun, the warming air

Oooh….

I want to, I want to lead the simple life
And make like the sycamore and the ash
Where the sinking of our roots is only equalled
By the stretching of our branch, of our branches

Oooh….

I want to believe in all the good in life
I want to believe in all the goodness that I can
Believe me, I want to keep a simple mind
A simple heart, a simple plan, a simple plan

Oooh….

I want to, I want to lead the simple life
And make like the stars around the moon
Just sparkle and shine while I’m able
The simple labor of the lucky few
