Simple things Lyrics by Ahmad Gilani

Black & White

2020

I was young once upon a time
I had dreams – thought the world was mine (no, no)

Now my world’s locked up in my mind
And my eyes dance from side to side
There aren’t a lot of sights to see in my life

So I hang up fairy lights to keep me through the night
Mom said I was depressed
Mom, I’m sorry – but I’m a mess

I come home, the vinyl’s spinning clockwise
Like the sun and the moon
My vinyl are my sunrise

[Chorus]
Life’s not supposed to be this complicated
Baby, please hold on
Hold on to the threads tugging your heart
Think about the flowers and the bees
In the apple orchard in Frost’s poetry
It’s the simple things in life
That make us human, that set us free
It’s the simple things in life
That make us human, that set us free

I was happy once upon a time
I read ‘The Power’ by Rhonda Byrne (yes, yes)

I find myself lost in a crowd
They call me crazy, but it’s not about me
Is it really that hard? (no, no)

The world has a deeper plan
It revolves around love and all you can do is hope for the best
For hope is really the test of faith, of grace

[Chorus]
Life’s not supposed to be this complicated
Baby, please hold on
Hold on to the threads tugging your heart
Think about the flowers and the bees
In the apple orchard in Frost’s poetry
It’s the simple things in life
That make us human, that set us free

It’s the simple things in life
That make us human, that set us free
