Simple Things
Verse 1:
Water lapping on the sand.
The wrinkles on a hand.
The crickets in the bushes.
Wind that whistles through the sky.
The birds that soar up high.
The bright, calm, airy meadows.
Chorus:
Keep your eyes wide open.
Watch and learn and listen;
You might find something new.
There's no greater fortune
Than the things around you.
Every simple thing is meant for something.
Verse 2:
Cherries growing on a tree.
The veins on every leaf.
The figure of each flower.
Rain that sprinkles from the clouds.
Lights hanging from a house.
The strength of every river.
Chorus:
Keep your eyes wide open.
Watch and learn and listen;
You might find something new.
There's no greater fortune
Than the things around you.
Every simple thing is meant for something.
Tremors can't shake it,
Weapons can't break it;
Nothing is ever
Exactly what you make it.
Chorus:
Keep your eyes wide open.
Watch and learn and listen;
You might find something new.
There's no greater fortune
Than the things around you.
Every simple thing is meant for something.
Every simple thing is meant for something.
