You and I, we are simple things

Oh, simple things we are

Feel the sun and all the joy it brings

To the simple things we are

Water rushing from a spring

Is the simple thing we are

But any hour of any day there is wonder

In all our striving and our courage and our thunder

You and I, we are simple things

Oh, simple things we are

At any hour of any day there is wonder

In all our skiving and our cowardice and our lying and our blunders

You and I, we are simple things

Oh, simple things we are

Simple things we are
