We chase the light through silver screens
And call it life, but forget to breathe
We fill our rooms with what we own
Yet feel the emptiness alone
Maybe joy’s not far away
Maybe it’s been here every day
Simpler ways, quieter skies
The sound of rain, a friend nearby
The warmth of sun, a slower pace
The gentle truth we all misplace
Peace begins when we let it stay
In simpler ways
We climb the walls of what we do
And miss the hearts that carry through
But laughter shared beneath the trees
Can heal a soul more than degrees
Maybe what we need to find
Can’t be bought or left behind
Simpler ways, quieter skies
The sound of rain, a friend nearby
The warmth of sun, a slower pace
The gentle truth we all misplace
Peace begins when we let it stay
In simpler ways
Take a breath, turn off the noise
Hear the silence, feel the choice
To live, not just to run the race
To see the beauty face to face
Simpler ways, open eyes
The world is kind if we realize
The light we seek, it never strays
It waits for us in simpler ways
It waits for us in simpler ways
