Intro

Verse 1

Looking down out of this little round window

 On silver wings at 20,000 feet

 At lakes and the streams and fields of green

 I tend to think the most peculiar things

Ribbons of highways, side roads, and byways

People going all ways, always in a hurry

 Gotta get there, but just where, from up here

 I'm not sure where it's all going... or what it all means

Chorus

 But sometimes I think... it's just a simple thing

 I close my eyes and I realize all I really need

 Is the love I have... and the love I have to give

Anything else there is – is insignificant

In this tiny life

Verse 2

Wheels hit the runways, Mondays run into Mondays

Some days are better than some days

 I can't see the sky, skyscraper's too high

 30-second daydream at another red light

 I'm back in my hometown, on roads that we rode down

Those sights and sounds are yesterdays now

 There's deadlines and stress lines, too much on my mind

 I'm getting it all... but what's it all for

Chorus

 Sometimes I think... it's just a simple thing

 I close my eyes and I realize all I really need

 Is the love I have... and the love I have to give

Anything else there is – is insignificant

In this tiny life

Bridge

 It's the love we make, it's the dreams we share

 The friends we find in our short time here

 It's knowing God's grace, the touch of a hand

 Holding a baby, calling Mom and Dad

 It's making the most of the moments we have

 And getting to live long enough to look back

 On the years, the sweet tears of joy and laughter

 That's all that really matters...

Instrumental

Ohh yeah...

FINALE:

 Sometimes I think... it's just a simple thing

 I close my eyes and I realize all I really need

 Is the love I have... and the love I have to give

Anything else there is – is insignificant

 It doesn't matter... in this tiny life
