Simple Things Letra

"Simple Things"By Tom RappWhen I was growing upAnd times were hardMany people often thoughtThey owned meWhen I got olderI knew that they were wrongBut now that convictionHas outgrown meOnce I knew a beggarmanLike you or meHe cried out:I want no one to hold me.He chased after freedomAnd he drank from every cupNow he knows everythingBut why he's lonelyI knew a girlFrom a fancy schoolWho hated liesShe threw away illusionsFrom her handShe kicked away each fading truthAs it came under her eyesWhen she looked downShe had no place to standI know that peopleCan get messed up badNot even believeThey can get through it allSomeone to loveAnd someone's childAre simple things, it's trueBut in this worldWe never madeThe simple things will do
