Lately, I've been asked some questions
To things that don't have answers, it keeps me up at night
On a high-wire, the world below is on fire
And I can't seem to get there in time to put it out
Where hope can hold us all together
But not forever
What can I do about it now?
Getting by on simple things
Letting go of material dreams
Search for quiet in my mind
Take a minute, look up at the stars
Go for glory on the air guitar
Step outside, find my voice and sing
Pleasure in simple things
♪
I took for granted little special moments
Lit up and fade like fireflies in the early summer nights
Drinking chill-wine and laughing with my daughter
Dancing round the backyard and losing track of time
Where love will hold us all together?
Maybe forever
What can I do about it now?
Getting by on simple things
Letting go of material dreams
Search for quiet in my mind
Take a minute, look up at the stars
Go for glory on the air guitar
Step outside, find my voice and sing
Pleasure in simple things
There's some answers that I know for certain
But didn't need the questions for me to figure out
It's the small thing, the hope you share and the love you bring
Not chandeliers or diamond rings
Don't ever have a doubt
Getting by on simple things
Letting go of material dreams
Search for quiet in my mind
Take a minute, look up at the stars
Go for glory on the air guitar
Step outside, find my voice and sing
Pleasure in simple things
Getting by on simple things
Getting by on simple things
