Or would you close your eyes, have no voice of opinion of what lies before you? shame on you Cause I say woah something's gotta give I need a simpler life to live, Woah look inside yourself You best find a better way to measure wealth Cause it's a simple life for a simple race, beneath the stars is where we find our place It's a simple love I'm gonna spread your way it's a simple life just living it day to day. I prefer climbing rather than falling from a tree I prefer singing rather than whispering silently If it were up to you would you look at it the same? Or would You close your eyes and have no voice of opinion of what lies before you? Shame on you Cause it's a simple life for a simple race, beneath the stars is where we find our place It's a simple love I'm gonna spread your way it's a simple life just living it day to day. I prefer helping rather than acting helplessly I prefer living ain't that the way it's supposed to be? If it were up to you would you look at it the same?
