Tis a Gift to be Simple

It's the simple things like the robots Stevie G draws
And the ease with which you seem to pull those tricks
There are moments of escape for every one of us
And a beauty in the times that we create
I saw you smiling

And I need my vehicles and animals
Then I will be alright
Take me back to 1979 so I can find my open eyes

He can play all by himself for many hours
I have never seen a kid who's so content
There is nothing from the outside that can touch him
'Cos he's just learning how to be alone with one
I saw you smiling

And I need my vehicles and animals
Then I will be alright
Take me back to 1979 so I can find my open eyes

Lying down on my bed
I just got another kick to the head
Oh yeah, you're a part of me
Yet another branch on the family tree
Salt on my fingers, salt in my cuts
Salt on my face and salt in my guts
It's been a battle but we've come through OK
Stop what you're doing and play...

'Cos we've got our vehicles and animals
So we're gonna be alright
And there's no need for us to go back in time
Because we've found our open eyes

Try to enjoy the simple things of life like we did as kids. That can be hard sometimes, but I think we would be better off for it. I know that I used to love playing with my matchbox cars. Life was so simple then. We need to capture that childlike joy.
