The Proclaimers

Simple Things

You and I, we are simple things.

Oh, simple things we are.

Feel the sun and all the joy it brings

To the simple things we are.

Water rushing from a spring

Is the simple thing we are.

But any hour of any day there is wonder

In all our striving and our courage and our thunder.

You and I, we are simple things.

Oh, simple things we are.

At any hour of any day there is wonder

In all our skiving and our cowardice and our lying and our blunders.

You and I, we are simple things.

Oh, simple things we are.

Simple things we are.
