The Simple Things


When did living life begin to be so complicated?
Bills and cars and credit cards make us so frustrated
All of our conveniences are so overrated
Yet living the simple life seems so outdated
 
So why, why, why can't we just find, find, find
A way to use our minds, a way to free our time
For the simple things and the joy it brings
For all the simple things and the joy it brings
For all the simple things and the joy it brings
For all the simple things 
 
When did our time begin to be so undermined
How can we go through life never finding time to shine
Wasting our days in different ways
Hoping for a break
Only together we can make 
Everything better before it becomes too late

So why, why, why can't we just find, find, find
A way to use our minds, a way to free our time
For the simple things and the joy it brings
For all the simple things and the joy it brings
For all the simple things and the joy it brings
For all the simple things 
And the Joy

Sometime I wish that the world would just - stop
Moving so fast
When there's so many precious moments
I wanna know, I wanna know how can we make them last
Lets melt down our cars and our guns
And make trains for everyone
Go back to doing things by hand
While spending time with family and friends
 
 
So why, why, why can't we just find, find, find
A way to use our minds, a way to free our time
For the simple things and the joy it brings
For all the simple things and the joy it brings
For all the simple things and the joy it brings
For all the simple things

A true fusion of different pop styles, GWAS will get your body moving and leave you wanting more of Ivette's "powerhouse belt" as well as her smooth-as-honey tone. ... more
