Lyrics
If it’s the simple things that matter
Like a joke between old friends
Why do we kill ourselves for status
And a posh Mercendes Benz?
If it’s the simple things that matter
When will we re-a-lize
That beauty isn’t happiness
When painted smiles are lies?
We are enslaved by what we worship
And day is night and night is day
If it’s the simple things that matter
Why don’t we live our lives that way?
There got to be something more than what we’re chasing
If it’s the simple things that matter
Why do neighbours go un-met,
While we fill our homes with furnishings
That haven’t been used yet?
If it’s the simple things that matter
Why are we rushing everywhere?
As if the seconds that we’ve stealing
Are worth the breath on which we swear
How can we watch a 3-hour movie
But not give our loved ones 1 hour of the day?
If it’s the simple things that matter,
Why don’t we live our lives that way?
If it’s the simple things that matter,
Why don’t we tell people that we love them?
If it’s the simple things that matter,
Why are we always above them?
