I want a simple life, like my mother   One true love for my older years   I don?t want your wars to take my children   I want a simple life while I?m here      The sun and moon walk hand in hand together   Trading places shining on the truth   The moon moves the bottoms of the oceans   So, the sun can bring a farmer?s hands to you      I want a simple life, like my mother   One true love for my older years   I don?t want your wars to take my children   I want a simple life while I?m here      We all seek comfort in the light of day   And our tears can wash off in the rain   Everything we need is all around us   In simple time and simple ways      Mother nature talks   Whispering her thoughts   So the paths we choose to cross   Walk one more day      I want a simple life, like my mother   And one true love for my older years   I don?t want your wars to take my children   I want a simple life while I?m here   I want a simple life while I?m here
