Lyrics
Simplicity
I like songs in four part harmony,
All the different forms of poetry,
Art with layers of complexity,
It all fascinates me.
I love looking at embroidery,
Staring at a quilt that someone made for me,
Reading ev'ry word of a detailed story,
It takes time to achieve that intricacy.
But there is something better in simplicity,
A voice that says, "This is the core of me,
Who I am and what I believe in."
There is something special in this intimacy,
In a life that tries to live confessionally,
Someone who comes out and admits.
There is a beauty that outshines ev'rything,
And that is simplicity.
I love all the lyrics of the songs
That I understand before I learn and sing along.
I love pictures of ev'ryday things,
The new light they bring.
I love people whose heart and soul
Work so hard for a single goal,
Like the One who came, taught, lived, and died,
To give me life, beautiful life.
There is something precious in simplicity,
A voice that says, "This is the core of me,
Who I am and what I believe in."
There is something special in this intimacy,
In a life that tries to live confessionally,
Someone who comes out and admits.
There is a beauty that outshines ev'rything,
And that is simplicity.
In ev'rything that I
Find a reason to enjoy,
There is something.
Sometimes it's buried deep,
A meaning I have to seek,
But other times it's already speaking.
Oh . . .
There is something better in simplicity,
A voice that says, "This is the core of me,
Who I am and what I believe in."
There is something special in this intimacy,
In a life that tries to live confessionally,
Someone who comes out and admits.
There is a beauty that outshines ev'rything.
There is something precious in simplicity,
A voice that says, "This is the core of me,
Who I am and what I believe in."
There is something special in this intimacy,
In a life that tries to live confessionally,
Someone who comes out and admits.
There is a beauty that outshines ev'rything,
And that is simplicity.
Simplicity.
Simply me.
