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
