Simple...
Simple...
Like putting one foot in front of the other;
When you've lost both your legs.
Simple...
Like inhaling and exhaling air;
When your lungs have collapsed.
Simple...
Like falling asleep and dreaming sweet dreams;
When you're terrified of sleep because of the nightmares.
Simple...
Like drinking a glass of water, or eating a meal;
When you're in a desert place, vultures overhead.
Simple...
Like being warmly embraced by your loving mother;
When your mother is a skeleton in the ground, bottle still in her boney hand.
Simple...
Like riding a bicycle after years of walking;
When a tire is flat and the brakes are cut.
Simple...
Like standing on a mountain and breathing the freshness;
When the avalanche comes and wipes you out.
Simple...
Like falling in love and living happily ever after;
When she doesn't love you one ounce...
Simple...
Like repeating yourself in so many different ways;
When your repetitive mind drives you over the edge.
Yeah, life is real simple sometimes.
