lyrics

Simple living
I'm what I am
I am easing into
Being it

Being the ladder
On which they climb
Being the landing
From which they fly
Being the bold
Backdrop of life
A simple time

Simple living
Is what I've got
To be surrounded
It's quite a lot

If they're not laughing
They're gonna cry
Just make them happy
No questions why
Steady walk on
A steady line
A simple time

Simple as the stillness of snow
Simple as a ripple off a blue sailboat
Simple as a glow
It's easy to be known

A wait is over
A weight is on
Push it gently
A simple job

Turn it over
It's black and white
Keep it rolling
By keeping it light
Hold it close
But not too tight
Steady walk on
A steady line
Being the bold
Backdrop of life
I guess that means
I think I’m fine
In this simple time
