There must be a reason why

We never feel satisfied

We might have everything we need

Just by learning to love what we have

Life ain’t got to be this complicated

Go live your life before it is wasted


We have to keep it simple

Don’t waste your time chasing the wind

Be grateful for each one of your blessings

And take care of your people


You have invested so much time in your work

Neglected your loved ones

Their gifts left in the dirt

Could that be the reason why

You’re still on the road

With no one to cheer you up

When life really hurts?


We have to keep it simple

Don’t waste your time chasing the wind

Be grateful for each one of your blessings

And take care of your people


Make sure your life reflects your priorities

There’s nothing worse than sinking

Into regrets and apologies

Don’t make the same mistakes I made

Listen to these words very carefully


We have to keep it simple

Don’t waste your time chasing the wind

Be grateful for each one of your blessings

And take care of your people
