The Simple Things
Somewhere along the way I got caught up in the race I kept spinning and turning Lost myself my hope my faith We're always wanting more than what we have And what I've learned is all i really need are... The simple things That come without a price The simple things Like happiness joy and love in my life I've seen it all from so many sides And I hope you would agree The best things in life Are the simple things Hey everybody don't get me wrong You got to understand and ambition and knowledge Are the seeds of every woman and man It's good to work... work hard and prosper As long as you take time to find... The simple things That come without a price The simple things Like happiness joy and love in my life I've seen it all from so many sides And I hope you would agree That the best things in life Are the simple things This world moves so fast Sometimes you got to slown down, down, down To find out what its all about We're always wanting more than what we have What I've learned, is what I really need are The simple things That come without a price The simple things Like happiness joy and love in my life I've seen it all from so many sides And I hope you would agree The best things in life Are the simple things

Here are my songs for the weekend: Baby You're A Rich Man(It's also one of Nic's fav songs, LOL!)
Hey Whatever (Performed by WESTLIFE)
Well I can't control the universe 'Cause I'm only a man And I may read the papers But it won't tell me who I am And if you really need a new philosophy Well here's one that makes sense The one I profess
(Chorus) I say hey whatever Let your beauty come alive Let your colour fill the sky And say whatever Why don't you liberate your mind? Let your colour fill the sky
All the world's a waiting room And we're standing in line For the answer to the question, "What makes me smile?" Don't let them change your story Don't let them change your song Don't let the gurus and philosophers Lead you on
(Chorus)
It's like taking a seat at the roulette table And just spinning the wheel And good or bad you take what comes It don't change how you feel If you're a champion of science Or if you're a freak show fool? What cannot be proved can still be true
My weekend song offering to all of you. I find this song so totally empowering and it goes along with the daily affirmations I've been treating myself to lately.
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh, oh
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten The rest is still unwritten The rest is still unwritten
