How does one live when he's shackled by the feet
He can try he can beg 'til his knees are all week
But the man will come for his yearly fee
'Til watery explosions erupt from the sea
What does one do when he can't find his voice
He can mime he can sign for he hasn't a choice
One day he may wake up singing
And to the notes he will keep on clinging
Simple prayers from simple hearts
Simple songs with simple parts
Simple lessons simply taught
Simply thinking simple thoughts
What does one do when he sleeps through the day
No choice but to listen to what people say
He finally gave her a chance to speak
But she just stood with her eyes on her feet
What does one do at the top of a peak
should he jump in hopes of flying
Or should he walk
And forever regret trying
Simple prayers from simple hearts
Simple songs with simple parts
Simple lessons simply taught
Simply thinking simple thoughts
Simple prayers from simple hearts
Simple songs with simple parts
Simple lessons simply taught
Simply thinking simple thoughts
