db clifford – simple things lyrics
i’m checking out the headlines,
they say the human race is dying.
boys and girls are crying
in a picture of their nations fighting…
the more i think about it,
the harder it gets for me to find the things that
used to make me happy and i know it’s all been said before but
i need peace and i need love,
i need all the things sent from above,
i need chocolate cake and lemon pie,
i need all the things that make me smile,
i want rain, and i want sunshine,
i want all the things sent from the sky
that put a smile upon my face,
and make this world a better place
when i’m feeling down, i think of
simple things that help me get by…
power and religion
are holding hands against all reason,
soon the politicians
will be touching little boys with the pop’s permission…
i never thought i’d cry
from seeing people die for their own convictions
i know it’s all been said before
but still you don’t seem to stop the war
i need peace and i need love,
i need all the things sent from above,
i need chocolate cake and lemon pie,
i need all the things that make me smile,
i want rain, and i want sunshine,
i want all the things sent from the sky
that put a smile upon my face,
and make this world a better place
i need the simple things that help me get by
i give no name to those who claim
the right to use our lives for power games
leaders and rulers
i believe will soon shoot us
if we don’t stand and fight
for our right to a better world
and i know it’s all been said before
but still you don’t seem to stop the war…
when it’s all too much
and i’m feeling low…
when it’s all too much,
i need simple things like peace
and i need love
i need all the things sent from above,
i need chocolate cake and lemon pie,
i need all the things that make me smile,
i want rain, and i want sunshine,
i want all the things sent from the sky
that put a smile upon my face,
and make this world a better place
